Hi I am trying to trace the family of Kunc. We think he was born in or around Zakopane in about 1917. Franz came to England around the second world war and served in the army. Franz settled in Bridgwater Somerset and married my partners mother. We are travelling to Kracow and Zakopane in July - August 2012. Franc never talked about Poland

Franzcisic?

Franciszek

PHA:

Kunc

Kunc is a surname of German origin (Kunz) - it may have had polonized spelling (there were a couple of waves of German settlement in southern Poland in ages past and it resulted in many surnames of that kind) or it may have original German spelling

the best advice I can give you is to look for people who do such research professionally - they know which doors to knock at

also there must be Polish emigree authorities archives in the UK - contact the Polonia institutions

KUNC: Polish spelling of German Kuntz (pet name for Konrad).
