Surname: GRODSKI : Need help



Grodski   Mar 22, 08, 03:19 /  #
I am 3rd generation Polish in New York. My paternal grandfather came to New York from Poland as a young child with his parents in the early 1900's. They settled in Riverhead, Long Island which is where many Poles emigrated to and is still a thriving Polish community. I have little to no information on my Polish roots and am desperately trying to find out what area in Poland my family is from. My grandfather and my father are both deceased and when I questioned my aging grandmother (who married him!) she didn't know where from Poland his family came from. The name Grodski could have been spelled differently. If anyone has any idea of any areas where this name is common I'd be so grateful.

Grodski or more likely Grodzki is that?

We spell it Grodski but it could have been spelled otherwise many years back. I know a lot of names went through changes when people came to the US.

In "Polish Surnames: Origins and Meanings" by Hoffman Grodski may be taken from Grocki or Grodzki. Grod can mean to enclose or fence, or fortress, city.

If you can find the original immigration information on you ancestors it will help to see if their name was changed.

I recommend a company: SupportInPoland.com.
They are cooperating with detectives and they are having professional genealogical searches. They look for ancestors, descendants, heirs and family souvenirs.
