LONDKOWSKI: probably derived from German name Lund which in older German was lünde (wave). Lund is also foiund in modern Swedish and means grove.

GERGHARD: a typical German first name also used as a surname. It also occurs in today's Poland. It comes from Old German roots mearning spear (ger) and brave (hard).

Gerard Londkowski died on 15.05.1991 and his wife Maria died on 22.03.1973. Both are buried in one grave in the Footscray Cemetery. Their son Zdzisław was born in 1947 in Europe (probably in Germany). We know that Zdzisław was married to Anne. My great-grandmother kept contact with Gerard to his death. We have no news about Zdzisław.
