Location: Budd Lake, NJ | I really hope this one ends up in the "family;" if I didn't have to have a new deck put on the house, I'd be in the hunt. It would be so wonderful to have a true sister for Gertrude. Oh, well, I hope I'll get to be happy for one of us folks....

Location: Phoenix AZ | Hey Louie,
My Grandfather (Witkowski) said that same thing in 1930. He packed up a few belongings and headed for America, shortend the name to Witko and the rest, as they say, is history. Come on over, we'll keep a light on for you.
Plus, I compared Polish mailorder brides to Russian ones. No offense to the ruskies, but the polish girls win by a good margin. Bring some of those along with you, OK? Don't worry about guitars, we can take care of that Stateside.

Location: Boise, Idaho | Mike, I think it was western Kansas where no one could pronounce our name, but we moved so many times I'm not sure. My folks are in Oregon, now, and they don't seem to have as much problem. The University of Portland just named a soccer field after my uncle, but they call it "Pru's Pitch" instead of it's official name. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | My Mom's maiden name is Wainopaa. Pronounced VUN-yo-PA. None of her school teachers could pronounce it.
Or family ran from Finland (and Lithuania) in the 20's and 30's. [Actually ran from the Russians, some of us were Jewish!]
Still got relatives in Helsinki...

Location: Boise, Idaho | Wrong. BOY-see. No rational basis for that, as far as I can tell, since the name supposedly comes from the French "bois", which sounds something like "bwah". |

Location: closely held secret | A Polish immigrant went to the DMV to apply for a driver's license. First, of course, he had to take an eye sight test.
The optician showed him a card with the letters 'C Z W I X N O S T A C Z.'
'Can you read this?' the optician asked.
'Read it?' the Polish guy replied, 'I know the guy.' |

Location: Tychy, Poland | hah. my name is Rochowski, which should be pronounced roh-ov-skee.
when i'll be decided that i'll move on, i'll look for advices.
In 3 weeks, there will be election to parliment in poland. if PiS and Kaczynski brothers will win - i go out.
btw.
it's really fun to hear how english-speaking people try to spell polish names. My friend is named Brzeczyszczykiewicz which should be pronounced Bgeenchyschyckievich. try to spell it:D
ps.
we dont use X in polish alphabet
ps.2
polish names which end on -ski and -cki are sign, that before XIX century that family belonged to Polish nobility. |
