Genealogy / Help needed about my Polish surname, Dobbert. [73]

Thank you delphiandomine and TheOther. You see, we can discuss this peacefully. :)

TheOther, seeing as it is not too much money i'll see what I can do, it's also good to know it is normal that I have found quite a few variations of this one name in my line, a relief.

deplphiandomine, I will look into Daberski, would make sense. I will also look into Dombrowski.

It seemed like there were tensions between you, wlodzmierz, delphiandomine and myself. But now those tensions have disappeared it seems.

Dąbrowski, I do believe by now was my Family's original name, and was changed to Dobbert in Eastern Germany over the years. That is why when they came to America they came as 'Dobbert'.

As for Doberski, it factors in because I found records of my ancestors as 'Doberski' but I think the Germans maybe were pronouncing 'Dąbrowski' wrong and instead wrote Doberski. I never found Daberski, or Dombrowski in my line. I never found Dobrowskis either.

The most likely theory at the moment is that my ancestors surname was 'Dąbrowski' and had been changed when they came to Eastern Germany to Dobbert. Simple as that, as for Doberski, my ancestors may have not been able to write perhaps and the people who were writing thought it was Doberski.

I also think this means i'm not Jewish, because Doberski was not the real name, and was only how whoever was writing it down, wrote it.

Good to hear. (I found out how to quote!)

Also, I guess maybe there is a very small chance I could be Jewish but I don't think the Dąbrowskis were Jewish. Though I will look into it.
