Once again, thanks Polonius3. My research just got a whole lot more complicated, but also more interesting! Joe

Polonius3, thanks for the very quick reply. I presume that Scibiorski is an alternate spelling of Sciborski (or vice versa?) in much the same way as there are slight variations on the same English names, eg Brown/Browne or Smith/Smyth. In Polish is there any reason for or knowledge on when such variations occurred? Joe

First post, here goes ... does anyone have any idea of the meaning of Scibiorski? My father came to Australia after WW2 (originally from Dabie nad Nerem) but is now deceased so I can no longer ask him.

Regards and Thanks
