I just checked on the Holocaust/Yad VaShem site and found at least a dozen who died with the Drzewiecki surname. My great-grandfather with this came over from Poland in the late 1800's and my family is a dyed in the wool Catholic family. I know that this is a common Polish name, but how does it represent two different religious groups. Thanks for your help.

Well for example Taylor and Morris are very common surnames in the UK, among Jews and Gentiles alike. I do not think things are that clear cut.
