I am of Polish ancestry and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the Polish Weaver family.
Thanks :D

My family's name was most likely "Americanized" when my Polish family reached the U.S but does anyone know anything about the Weaver surname or family?

TKACZ is the Polish word for weaver which also functions as a surname. Spin-offs incldue Tkaczyk (weaver's son) and Tkaczewski (toponymic nick for someone from Tkaczew or Weaverville). Is one of those the name your Polish immigrant ancestor had in his Old World documents?

Thank you so much!

The spin offs look unlikely to me but the first one is probably my Polish last name.
Who knows my family is so "Americanized" it's almost impossible to find this stuff.

Weaver is not a Polish name. Even so two peoples with this name are registered in Poland.
But if you're asking about Polish 'equivalent' of this surname - Tkacz - this one is very popular here.
