Guzek, Biraga, Orski, Misko... These are some of the surnames of my family. All I know is that they came from Poland in the late 1800's or early 1900's. Does anyone know anyone withe these surnames?

Are you just interested in finding possible relatives or do you want to trace your families?

Guzek - diminutive of guz (bump, lump, tumour)
Biraga - ???? -aga ending is usually a pejorative augmentative: eg łomaga (clumsy oaf); bir syllable is obscure
Orski - probably from orać (to plough), oracz = ploughman
Misko - hypocoristic (endearign dimintuive) of Michał or toponymic nikcname from Misie, Miszewko, Mistów
