My Great- Granfather's last name was Nerswig. I am looking for the Polish spelling/translation of it. He was born in the US, however his parents were not. Upon coming to the US they changed the spelling of there last name to a english one. Any help would be great!!!! Both of his parents were born in the US

Yes, they were from Poland, that was my errot. I belive it is Neutashavetz. Ofcourse I have spelled the all wrong. When they came to the US the chaned it because it was to hard to spell and say. And I have been told that the translation was Nerswig.

I can't really tell but the ending of the name looks like it would be -siewicz

Thanks.... I am trying to do a family tree for my grandmother for her 75 birthday and evvery i turn i come up at a dead end road. I have the names of my great great grandparents on my grandma side and i am coming to dead ends there. I never know it would be this hard to look up your family history.... and ofcourse since i only speak english. going to any of the polish websites is out of the question. I would be happy with the meaning of some of the last names i have found..... thanks again!!!
