Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4501]

My Last name is Tytus. I am first born American. My parents came from Poland after world war 2, where they waited for immigration for 5 years in a German camp.

I remember my father talking about his ancestry fled to Poland from Lithuanian, due to war. Tytus was very prominent in Lithuanian back then(?) Any history on the name? I remember my father pronouncing his last name as titu.

My fathers name was Peter Tytus. His father was Nicholas. He had a brother's Joseph (in Germany), and Timothy in Poland, sister's Kathryn, Dominique. My fathers mother's name was Priscilla. Peter's father, Nicholas, died when he was the age of 2. He new he was a carpenter and that he was deaf, due to congenital deafness, My parents had a daughter in Poland, Mary, who died at the age of 2-3 from diphtheria during the war. There are no records she even existed. I heard the hospital, grave site and all records were damaged from the war. The town was a village near Zamosc.
