Genealogy / Anyone Heard Of A Family with the surname Fabich or Similar? [8]

stick your name in the box and press search:

This provides me with very good news. It appears there are only 466 people with the name Fabich and mostly in the north. It means it will be much easier to discover family origins than I expected.

FABICH: dervied from first name Fabian; other derivatives incldue Fabiś, Fabisz and Fabula.

This is the sort of rich detail that puts life into one's heritage.

Thank you

Genealogy / Anyone Heard Of A Family with the surname Fabich or Similar? [8]

I have no idea about my Polish heritage. My mother doesn't know but her grandparents migrated around the turn of the 20th century. Their family name was Fabich but it is possible that they anglicized it. From my mothers memory there were simple Polish peasant foods when she grew up and I suspect they were poor people, maybe even illiterate.

I thought a starting point is to see if Fabich or a similar name is common in Poland. It would make my job to find ancestors much easier if it is uncommon of course. Also it is helpful if the name proves to be more common in some regions more than others.

Anyone heard of a family Fabich or similar?
