Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]
Merged: Grudniewski - Surname meaning and/ research
I am trying to find the origin of my father's surname, Grudniewski. I have read here that it might be a name given by the Catholic Church to Jewish converts who became Catholics in December. I think it is a relatively rare name and also I have found a couple of 19th century vital records with this name and Jewish first names from an area then called Radom. Any information would be appreciated.
