Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4501]

My surname is Adryanski

Adryanski in Polish would be Adriański. There are (apparently) 10 Adriański's in Poland, all in Wrocław region. Google search for Adriański gave over 4000 hits.

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4501]

What would be the original polish form of Stefan and Irene?

Stefan and Irena

Osse-Gasowka? Osse-Bagno? - located in Podlaskie in the Wysokie Mazowieckie region and near Lapy

In ancestry research I find a relative listed as born in Osse-Gasowka and Osse-Bagno...anyone know if these areas are the same? Also is there any significance to the names? Reason I ask is I've found other areas that also have 'Osse' in their name.

By the way, this area is located in Podlaskie in the Wysokie Mazowieckie region and near the village of Lapy.

I don't think these areas are the same (but possibly they are near each other as the name suggest). It's like "west of downtown" or "east of downtown".

Genealogy / Meaning of "Janek" [26]

I am curious to found out the American meaning of the Polish name Janek.

Janek is a diminutive form of Jan, so in English it would be a diminutive form of John.

dunkles54:
Is it just a matter of rinsing the sauerkraut really well to make it less pronounced?

yes

If still too sour add some fresh gabage to it.

Language / Spelling "aunt" in Polish [142]

What it says is that wujek is a maternal uncle (your mothers brother) and that stryj is a paternal uncle (your fathers brother).

That is correct
stryj: father's brother, stryjenka: father's sister

Work / Why Poland employers are afraid of hiring any foreign nationals? [171]

there are a lot of nasty Poles in England now. You only have to watch programmes like Crimes Watch U.K. to see the number of murderers and child abusers who are being caught by their D.N.A. and are being brought back to England and given life sentences.

I know of one (the Jakub guy), who are the others?

Genealogy / SURNAME:CZARNECKI [27]

Czarnecki and Czarniecki are two different last names

Genealogy / SURNAME:CZARNECKI [27]

Very popular last name, 32525 Czarnecki's in Poland.
It would usually refer to the name of a place where the family lived at some point centuries ago, a place with a name beginning Czarn-, from the root czarny, "black." The name is especially likely to refer to the village of Czarnca in Kielce province, Wloszczowa district, but you can't really count on that -- there are too many other cases where it referred to any of a number of villages named Czarne, Czarne, etc.

Can't find anything about Krzymize, could you please check the spelling.
