ANTOLAK: possibly patronymic nick derived from Antoni (Antoni's son?) or Anatol (Anatol's son?) GRUZA: dervied from gruz (rubbble), gruzel (clod) or Gruzin (Georgian). MIREK: short for first name Mirosław; some Polish surnames have forms identical to Christian names, eg Zygmunt, Wojtek, Jędrzej.

Jantolak - There was a Jozef Antolak who was married to Marianna Gal in Odrowaz (southern Poland, near Nowy Targ). They had 3 children born in Odrowaz: Antonia (born 1900) Aneila (born in 1901) Andrzej (born in 1906) If you visit the PolishOrigins website (www.PolishOrigins.com) Antolak is in the surname list. There are members there who are also researching this name.
