Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew the origins of the Woronczuk. Apparently my father (Zygmunt) came from a village called Szczerbowo in county Sokółka.
Many thanks. I wish to travel there next year to begin finding my roots since no remain members of my family exist.

WOROŃCZUK: from Ukrainian word for crow worona;-czuk is a typcially Ukrainian patronymic ending. So when someone nicknamed the Crow (for whatever reason) fathered a son: presto and we got Worończuk.
