Buczyna (root-word buk = beech) is the Polish word for a grove of beech trees or beechwood timber. There are seveal localities in Poland called Buczyna and probably some in the Lwów (Lviv) area as well which well could have generated the Buczyński toponymic nickname to indicate a local inhabitant.

I don't know how much this helps, but my family came from a small coal mining town near Johnstown PA called Ehrenfeld. On their street was a family called Buchinski, probably the Americanized version of your name. One of their sons Charlie Buchinski moved away, changed his name to Charles Bronson and became a movie superstar!

Hi!
1. Do you know whether Charles Bronson was a Muslim?
2. His first language (supposedly not English)
3. Was his mother a Pole, a Lipka Tatar or a Lithuanian?
4. Was she a Roman Catholic or a Muslim?
I am just curious...

Charles Bronson's father was a Lithuanian Tartar and a Sunni Muslim. His mother was a Lithuanian and a Roman Catholic. I don't know which, if any, religion Charles practiced. When asked about his ethnicity by Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show Charles claimed to be Mongolian.

Merged: Seeking Todorowski and Buczynski families

Looking for living relatives of Todorowski and Buczynski families. John, Casimir, Anna and Rose Todorowski came from Meidamj, Trockie, Wilno Poland/Russia. Joseph Buczynski came from Demetz, Radom, Lida, Wilno Poland/ Russia. I am assuming some of those names are towns and counties or regions. Both families settled in Newark, NJ and some married at St. Casimir's Catholic Church in Newark, NJ. Some buried at Holy Cross Cemetery in N. Arlington, NJ. Joseph Buczynski married Anna Todorowski, children were Joe, Vicky, Helen, Fred and Florence. Helen's cousin had 3 children who took dance lessons and one may have joined the Rockettes in NY City. Also, I believe a Todorowski owned a tavern in Newark and possibly Jersey City, NJ. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Merged: TROCKI / TROCKA & Buczyńska families from Suwalki area

I am looking for information on my great-great grand parents, Klemens Tocki and Michalina Buczyńska. By that I mean:
I would like to find out where exactly they lived so that I might obtain copies of their birth and death records if they exist.

I would like to learn the name of their son that was born in Poland, and what happened to him.
I would like to learn what happened to the other girls, Wladyslawa and Kasimiera.

Klemens Trocki
Left Poland and settled in Shenandoah, Schuylkill, Pennsylvania, USA in 1895.
(a transcript from the Hamburg Passenger List on Ancestry.com is below)

Name: Clemens Trocki
Departure Date: 26 Mai 1895 (26 May 1895)
Birth Date: abt 1863
Age: 32
Gender: männlich (Male)
Residence: Czerwory, Russland (Russia)
Occupation: Arbeiter
Ship Name: Phoenicia
Captain: Leithäuser
Shipping line: Hamburg-Amerika Linie (Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft)
Shipping Clerk: Hamburg-Amerika Linie (Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft)
Ship Type: Dampfschiff
Accommodation: Zwischendeck
Ship Flag: Deutschland
Port of Departure: Hamburg
Port of Arrival: New York

Michalina Buczyńska
Traveled at the same time and is listed with the last name Trocki, even though she and Klemens were not married until Jun 1895 in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania.

Name: Michaline Trocki
Departure Date: 26 Mai 1895 (26 May 1895)
Birth Date: abt 1877
Age:18
Gender: weiblich (Female)
Marital Status: ledig (Single)
Residence: Suwalken, Russland (Russia)
Ship Name: Phoenicia
Captain: Leithäuser
Shipping line: Hamburg-Amerika Linie (Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft)
Shipping Clerk: Hamburg-Amerika Linie (Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft)
Ship Type: Dampfschiff
Accommodation: Zwischendeck
Ship Flag: Deutschland
Port of Departure: Hamburg
Port of Arrival: New York

Klemens & Michalina married and had three daughters in Pennsylvania. (Michalina's maiden name was spelled Bucznska on the marriage license.)
Helen A Trocka 1898 - 1975
Wladyslawa Trocka 1900 - ?
Kazimiera Trocka 1903 - ?

In Jul 1904 Michalina took the girls and returned to Poland. (UK, Incoming Passenger Lists, 1878-1960) Klemens is not listed with them.

My Aunt has recently told me that there was a son born to them after returning to Poland.
Sometime before 1915 Helen returned to Pennsylvania, her family was to follow but Klemens died so they didn't.

I do not speak or read Polish so research in this area is difficult for me. I have searched the internet for records available online specifically for the Suwalki area and have not been able to locate any.

Any help is appreciated!

TROCKI: toponymic nick from Torki in Lithuania, once the seat of the Karaim ethno-relgious group.

BUCZYŃSKI: root-word buk (beech); toponymic nick from Buczyna (Beechwood).

TROCKI HERBU £ODZIA: The heraldic experts of yesteryear disagreed as to the origin of the £odzia (boat, ark, vessel) coat of arms. According to one version it traces its origin to Bohemia (now the Czech Republic), but others claim it went all the way back to ancient Greece and Rome, even connected it to the mythological Jason's quest for the golden fleece or the seafaring expeditions of the ancient Slavs. Whatever the case, it depicts a plain wooden boat (variously shown as gold, yellow or brown) on a red shield.

BUCZYŃSKI HERBU RADWAN: Radwan is one of several clans to which the well-born Buczyńskis belonged. The Radwan coat of arms is said to have originated during the reign off King Bolesław the Bold (1039-1081). During an attack by Ruthenian (early-Ukrainian/Russian) forces, the king's army was overwhelmed because his troops fled in panic after the enemy had captured the battle flag and killed the standard-bearer. A cavalry commander named Radwan galloped off to the nearest church, grabbed a religious banner, rallied his troops around it defeated the enemy. The coat-of-arms contains a gold pictogram of the church banner set against a blood-red shield. The crowned helmet topped with plumes is a typical embellishment of most Polish clan crests. It is shared by 286 noble families from Babski to Żądło.
