Here is some additional advice on searching Auberzinski = Oberzynski = Oberżyński names. Assuming that this is indeed a Jewish name you may proceed as follows.
Step 1. Go to AVOTAYNU, Consolidated Jewish Surname Index, http://www.avotaynu.com/csi/csi-home.htm
Enter Surname to be Searched: OBERZYNSKI
In response you will get a list of names, somewhat sounding like OBERZYNSKI, but only one exact match, with SOUNDEX 074645, and only one database pointer: A.
At the bottom of that page there is a list of all available databases and one of them is: A.
A. Jewish Records Indexing - Poland , http://www.jewishgen.org/jri-pl/jriplweb.htm
(231,973 surnames). An index to over 2,400,000 Jewish birth, marriage, divorce and death records located in the archives of Poland. An on-going project--continuously updated. Online database
Step 2. So go there and continue your search.
I ran a quick search there on the Surname (is Exactly) OBERZYNSKI. I had no other information to add.
Two lists were returned: one from Kalisz Gubernia, and one from Piotrkow Gubernia (Gubernia = Russian for Province, more or less).
Kalisz Gubernia: A record for Nachman Puter 1847, Father Jakob, Mother Drejza, Mother's surname OBERZYNSKI .
Piotrkow Gubernia: A record for Gdala Oberzynski 1861, male, no other details
There are many other options you can choose from for various names: (is Exactly, Sounds Like, Phonetically like, etc.) You can also provide many more parameters, like the first name, town name, province, etc.
I repeated Step 1, but this time with the name AUBERZINSKI. And guess what? The response was somewhat similar as in the first search, with the sound like names ABERZANSKY and OBERZYNSKI to be the closest to the input name. So OBERZYNSKI seems to be quite a strong guess. But there are seven other names worthy to check. I'll leave the rest to you, of course.
