What does Tutejszy mean?



Hello I am reading through the Polish census in 1931 and came across the word Tutejszy. What does it mean? Are they a Polish sub-ethnic group?

Who is a Pole? Make makes someone Polish?

People ask questions about surnames on this thread and get told the origin and meaning of their surname. Like the person above with the surname Gryszczuk it's ruthenian but that doesn't make it not Polish. That person could be 100% Polish.

How did you come to the conclusion that PUCYKOWICZ is a rare Polish surname and originally from the Krosno area?

Are you claiming PUCYKOWICZ is a Polish noble surname? I don't see how those comments relate to the question. Can you please elaborate?

Thank you all for your time and assistance

Out of curiousity What makes PUCYKOWICZ Polish in origin and not Belarusian or Russian? Is it the Start of the surname pucyk or the ending owicz? I'm very interested to know how it works.

Thanks again!

Pucykowicz Is written in Polish, from Russian to English it would be Puchikovich and in the Belarusian Latin script Pučikovič. I'm wanting to find out the meaning and origin. If anyone can help it would be great ! Thank you
