Genealogy / Polish name? Hunzah Swantek (Swiatek?) [9]
Can Polish last names be identified with a specific region??
My grandmother's last name was (Thekla) Hodur, and her mother's was (Agata) Kwasnik, and her grandmother's was (Katarina) Jadlo. We know, from the US & German passenger lists, that Agata came from Huta Komorowska in the Galician region. We have a wedding picture with Harriet Kwasnik (Agata's sister) marrying George Swiatek. A Felix Swiatek was one of my grandmother's baptism sponsor.
Thanks in advance!
