Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4501]
In reference to the name Mackiewicz my grandfather in 1924 cut his name to Mack and used it legally after that and that was the legal name of my grandparents mother and aunts. No uncles
The very old always used the name Marckiewicz in referring to my grandfather. That was how they pronounced it.The family story is that my greatgrandfather left Poland because of a situation with a peasant girl and forewent everything in Poland and came to America.
The last I remember hearing was that his last remaining relative was an elderly women in the late 70'S,possibly early 80'sand married an Italian count.It was said she baronness or countess.She basically sold the title .Is it possible to get any help on this as I can't find reference to the name spelt Mackiewicz
