My maiden name is Paprocki. I have lots of relatives in Platte County, Nebraska, lots of Paprockis there. My ancestors came from Tarnow, Poland.

There were Paprocki families in Boulder County, Colorado as well. The 1900 census has a John and Anna Paprocki. They might have been related to my family through marriage.

PAPROCKI: root-word paproć (fern); possibly toponymic from localities such as Paproć, Paprotki, Paprotnia or similar.
