Anything will help. I think the part I inserted in Polish is her birth record if you would like could you please translate that part.

Thank you

Do you know if it was Łagowski, Łągowski, Lągowski or Lagowski? Each was derived from a different source. The most common is Łagowski.

I do have her application for a petition for naturalization and on it she gives in Polish as Łagoski her fathers name was John Łagoski.

Sorry to be of a bother to you but I guess when they came over here and information was written down I think the translation was a bit mixed up.

Again I thank You

Łagoski is not used in Poland, so apparently the w didn't make the trans-Atlantic crossing. That was common because driopping the w made the name closer to the oiriginal pronunciaton: la-Guss-kee rather than la-GOW(rhyming with cow)-ski.

So I guess using the ( Ł) changes the pronunciation of the name. Well thank you for your help.

Yes, except in extreme eastern Poland where the Ł is pronoucned like the Russian hard L, the most common pronunciation today is the English W sound. So Łagowski would come out sounding like: wa-GUSS-kee.
