Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4501]

SYNAR Cenar Zinar Cynar Shinar Cyner

When our ancestors came to America in middle 1800's the spelling of their name was changed to Synar. I am searching for persons now living in Poland who may be relatives but spell their surname possibly like one of the above. Our Synar Family is the ONLY SYNAR family in America. I feel certain we have relatives in Poland but cant locate because they are using the correct spelling...whatever that is. The couple who immigrated to America was Valanty and Valeria Synar. Valanty was born in Poland in 1848. He was also known as William Cynar and Walenty Synar. Valeria was born there in 1857.also, .she known by Valeryia or Aolliea.

Genealogy / Polish Gypsy Roots & Roma ancestors in their families [206]

I am trying to find my childrens' Polish Gypsy Roots. On their father's side, they are 100% Polish, black straight hair, black-brown or hazel eyes, olive complexion. The two names I have prior to emigration to America circa 1900 are: (I am spelling phonetically) 1) Cinarski, Cynarski 2) Legako, Legaco. These original two families (my husband's father and mother, respectively) were Roman Catholic & settled in/near Wellston Oklahoma circa 1900. I will be most appreciative of any information which might be given. Thank you.
