Hello All,
My grandmother's family is from Poland. My grandma grew up in Hamtramck MI. Her maiden name was Czarnecki, later changed to Black by my great grandfather. My great grandma's maiden name was Weiss. How common are these last names? Where abouts in Poland would you find these last names? Thanks for any help!

Haha, that's pretty funny !! Your grandma changed her name to Black (Czarnecki, Czarny meaning "black" in Polish)...and your great grandma's maiden name was Weiss, which means "white" in German... Your old photos must be black & white ^^

Czarnecki is not a rare name in Poland... There are more than 30,000 people in Poland carrying that name all over Poland, no particular place...

As to Weiss, it may be of German or Jewish origin.

You might be better off on the Hamtramck thread. Yes, there is one on the forum.

My Grandfather was a Czarnecki from Gdynia

I am friends here with a Polish imigrant who says that Czarnecki is a royal Poish name.
Very good name (as she would say).

It is spelled various ways, however ours is spelled the say as yours, CZARNECKI.

Good Luck

J

Does anyone know of a Zdzislaw Czarnecki who lived in Cambridge? Not sure when he died but would have been over 100 if he were still alive.
