Genealogy / Why did(do) Poles sometimes have German first names? [28]
Thank you for saying this - it means a lot to me.
You're definitely right with the unavailability of certain things online, especially with things that are over 100 years old. Hopefully someday I will have the opportunity to retrieve any records that may be available from any churches (be it Roman or Greek Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox) as your aunt did.
I just realized that you were the same one to post the very helpful "Polish surname suffixes" thread that I saw a few days prior to posting this thread. Definitely very well made. My own great grandfather's surname ended with the suffix "chra" - not sure if that's helpful or anything, but I thought I'd post it anyway. Honestly, I'm more than satisfied with the answers I got in this thread, so it really doesn't matter either way. Thank you!
Well, if your family comes from Poland then you are always going to be connected to it through this :)
