JAKUBEK: hypocoristic (pet) from of Jakub (James, Jacob), hence the equivalent of Jim or Jake.

SZYCA: A szyca is a part of a weaver's loom; also possibly a variant form of syc (miser)???

Great grandparents from around Gniezno, if fact the Polish settlers named our township Gnesen, located in Minnesota, USA. Can you find out if there are any of these names there now? Thank you

Where in MN? Is it close to the Twin Cities, Mankato, Saint Cloud or what city? I'm just curious as I have been in Minnesota loads of times - my bro lives there.

M-G (didn't see many Polish surnames there, though; much more Scandinavian and German)
