Hi ,

I am currently looking into my family's ancestory, and these surnames are all related to me. I was just wondering if they are really common or even if anyone knows anyone with the following names. I am looking into this to gain Polish citizenship and get a EU Passport, and find it all very interesting!

Franciszek Kozien

Jan Ciszewski

Eleonora Kantorska

Maria Kamieniec

Thanks

Sarah Kozien

All very good, authetnically Polish names used currently by (numebr in brackets):

Kozień (587) - from koza (goat), possibly of toponymic origin, eg Kozienice (Goatville)

Ciszewski (9200) - root is cisza (silence, quiet) but probably toponym from Ciszewo (Quietville)

Kantorski (1309) from kantor (cantor) - patronymic nickname (cantor's son)

Kamieniec (74) - possibly occupatiponal (stonemason, although the more common term is kamieniarz), most likely toponymic nickname from places called Kamień.
