My family left Poland around 1890. Any suggestion on the orgin of my last name?
I have spoken to a few Poles in the last few years and one mentioned that not only was the name fairly common but he actually knew someone with the Polish spelling of "John Shedleski". It has been suggested that the name may be a referance to the town of "Siedlce"

Regards John

John Shedleski

There would be no such spelling in Polish.
The possibilities I'm aware of are:
Jan Siedlewski
Jan Siedleski

In statistical terms, the most likely is Siedlecki, a toponymic surname used by more than 7,700 people in Poland. It means 'the bloke from the town fo Siedlce'. There are only 187 Siedlewskis and only one Siedleski.
