So, this name came up in an old passport I found, and now it's just a matter of figuring out what it says. I've made a guess as to the name, but I won't say so I don't sway your opinion before you can make your own. I figured somebody here would have a better idea of what name this is, if they're used to seeing names like this...almost like me being able to read the name "Katherine", even if the writing isn't that good haha. So anyway, let me know what you think...

I believe it's supposed to be a male name, according to the passport.

My parents looked at it, and guessed it was;

Hieronym Stolarz

My mother said she knew a Polish woman who signed her H's like that *shrugs*

Hmmm, really..I never seen 'H' written like this even in archaic polish. It looks more like 'W' and the rest of the letters support "Wawrzyniec".
Besides, the name is spelled Heronim..

Stolarz should be the last name, though I'm not sure what letter is thrown at the end of the surname. Would it be helpful for me to post the scan of the entire passport page to possibly compare letters?

ze strony ojca: Wawrzynca Stolarza.
Polish names are conjugated. It makes sense now.

It's like the father's name is Wawrzyniec Stolarz, but the kids on the father's side are referred to as born to Wawrzynca Stolarza.

That's how i see it.

So it looks like almost all of you agree that the one thing it could possibly match, is Wawrzyniec Stolarz. Now I just need to put this information to use haha.

Looks like Wawrzyniec Stolarz to me too after seeing the name Józef Stolarz.
And it's not a passport, it's a work book.

What is a work book exactly for? I assumed it was a passport or something because the next pages have a stamp from Hamburg on it, which is the port I know he left to come to the United States.

By that time it might be used as a mean of ID. But that wasn't a passport.
It was an official document issued to young employees on training (apprenticeship).
You couldn't start your employment without.

It tells that Wawrzyniec Stolarz (the father) was one to allow Józef Stolarz start the apprenticeship.
