Hi I would like the translation of. Stanislawa i Anny z domu Goschkowska. I am doing a family tree and these are my grandparents names on my mother's birth certificate. Also rocznika 1892 zniszzone. I think these are all the correct letters. Thanks Anna

Stanislawa i Anny z domu Goschkowska "Stanislaw and Anna, maiden name Goschikowska" The Polish spelling should be "Gościkowska"

The Polish spelling should be "Gościkowska" Not really, sorry, you overshoot. De domo Goschkowska, could be one of: Goszkowska or Gorzkowska, but definitely not Gościkowska.

It could have been "Goździkowska" [surname formed after the noun 'goździk'] as well which to me seems to be most plausible. Another one which comes to my mind would be "Gościchowska" [surname formed after the verb 'gościć']. "Groszkowska" should also be considered [surname formed after the noun 'groszek'].

We speculate here of course, but the fragment "sch" is not typical for English language, but very typical for the German one. The date 1892 could be a clue: the person was possibly born in Austrian or Prussian partition, and this is how German clerks could have written that name.

Some statistics:
Gostkowski - 1,500,000 (Google)
Gorzkowski - 310,000
Goszkowski - 31,000
Goschkowski - 4,000
Gościkowski - 9,100
