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

Can anyone let me know if they have any information on the last name "Kloske". I know my family came from two different areas. One area being Gdansk, and the other the Silesia region when it was Prussia. Might it have any connection to Klodzko?

Thanks a lot!

Life / Medical / Healthcare Questions in smaller towns in Poland [10]

Hello :)
This is my first real post here and I just want to say I'm glad to meet you all!
Okay, I have a few questions about the healthcare in the smaller towns in Poland. I have been thinking about moving my family to Poland, and am rather taken with the beautiful, but remote Zakopane. I have a soon to be six year old daughter who has moderate asthma. Would I experience any trouble finding adequate medical care for her there in a town of that size? I have also been looking at Gdansk. Are there any hospitals there that specialize in children's care? My daughter has been hospitalized about three times in the last year at a children's hospital for pneumonia and asthma flares. Each time about 3-4 days. I guess I just want to make sure there are trauma specialists for her demographic around if need be.

Thanks a lot :)
Btw, I just want to mention how hard it is to convey these kinds of questions without sounding like some sort of jerk. I hope not to ever offend anyone with my lack of knowledge on all things Polish. But trying to learn and seek information about a new culture without sounding arrogant can be tricky!! I'm sorry if I ever seem anything than a true lover of your country :)
