Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]

I would like to obtain a coat of arms as a gift for my husband.

His grandfather and grandmother's names were: Frank Dorosinski and
Jadwiga Chavne, both born in Poland. Born in the late 1800's. My husband's father, Steve Dorosinski, was born in 1918.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Why don't you check out kingarthurflour.com website. They sell all kinds of flour.
I buy King Arthur Flours in the grocery stores in Michigan (US). You may be able to get a small quantity of rye flour because the bread recipes don't call for much and the rye flour usually comes in a smaller package anyway.
