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

I have two last names I'd like to know the meaning of, Dombec (Dombyk) and Parasczuk (Paraszczynsk).

The second is my Great Grandmother's Maiden name which was changed when the family came into Ellis Island from the longer version to Parasczuk.

USA, Canada / American Polonia. Wisconsin - the most Polish state? [112]

I know this is an old thread however....

I live in Wisconsin, actually directly between Madison and Milwaukee. My Great Great Grandparents moved to Chicago from Poland, then my Great Grandparents moved to Wisconsin...

Where are all of these Polish stores/bars? I've never heard of any.

I also have to admit that I am personally jealous of all of you on here who can speak polish - I being the great grandson only know the few swear words she said while I was growing up.

P.S. I'm glad I found this forum - two hours later and I'm still finding cool & interesting stuff! :D
