Language / Ethnic backround of suffixes of Polish surnames [54]

@Paulina
Dziękuję :) If I were to visit Poland, do you know if it would be easy to search church records for my family name in order to find my relatives still living there? I can't locate my family's parish, but it must be somewhere in Małopolska.

I believe my paternal great, great grandmother's name was Antonina? Her son would have been Stanislaw Dziedzic, my great grandfather, though. Do you have any more information to share? Maybe we are relatives?

@Diamondlady
Is it possible we have the same Dziedzic family? The furthest back I can trace is my great grandfather who came from Tarnów, Małopolska. His name was Stanisław. I'm hoping to find out his family's parish so I can access church records and track down relatives still in Europe.

Language / Ethnic backround of suffixes of Polish surnames [54]

I can't find a surname suffix of my Polish family anywhere here nor online, but I'm wondering if it's originally Ukrainian or from another background. I'm asking about "Dziedzic." From what I know, my family is from Galicia, part of which is now present-day western Ukraine. My grandparents immigrated from the south-western region of Poland, around Krakow area. Suffix -ic seems similar to the Cyrillic -ets sound, and I know there is a geographical region called Dziedzice.
