Genealogy / Surname Krzyszczuk [35]
There are only 3 Krzczuks (including me), and only one Krzyszczuk grandchild left in the US that I know of. So everyone who knew anything has either forgotten, or has passed away.
I've been called "John Needs-more-vowels" several times, along with "Kru-check", "Kruz", "Kru-zack", "Kir-cuck", and a host of other mispronunciations. I've only met two people in the last 20 years who have pronounced it the same way my family does- on the first try "Kri-zik".
Though I've heard the original pronunciation of Krzyszczuk was "Shi-shook"
Thanks for the guide in a general direction, I'll have to do some searching.
