Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]
Looking into some roots history, am from families Pikula and Chodan. I know nothing of family beyond two generations and am trying to research... From what I can gather Chodan would more than likely have come from Chodakowski and would be of Russian origin. My family hail from the south-eastern region, a small farming village called Czerce, near Sieniawa, just out of Jaroslaw. As the town is so far east, it sounds fairly accurate as Jaroslaw was founded by a Russian/Ukraine line. Anyway, anyone who could point me further would be great. Also, Squeak-Walker would be the rough English translation of the hiphenated names, which i find thoroughly amusing.
