Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4501]
Hello, don’t know if this is the right forum but at least you might be able to point me in right direction.
To start with – my maiden name is KLUT – have you ever heard of such surname in Poland. From the look of it is not a typical polish name, wonder where it originated.
The rest of my ancestor have a “typical” polish names as well – LAFERY, SCHOUNBAUM (that should be a German O with double comas on top of it) and, finally, which is puzzling me the most, on my grandparents marriage certificate there is a name of my grandmother’s mother simply put as TEKLA from TRASZKÓW (Tekla z Trzasków) so she does not even have a surname as such. The certificate was issued in 1932 in Warsaw, so I presume that they all were living in or around Warsaw in the early 1900’s
Any help appreciated
Thanks in advance
