TRAWIŃSKI (Polish spelling): I would guess that the root is trawa (grass, lawn), but the
-ski ending 90% of the time indicates a toponmyic nick. So it probably originated to identify someone from Trawy or Trawniki.

We have a village in Mazowsze called Trawy. It is possible this family hails from there indeed.

Gentelmen,

What is the best way to find family in Trawy? I have two family names that came from the same village in Poland. One half of my family is Trawinski, the other half is Rysz. My grandfather followed his wife to be from Poland one year after my grandmother left Poland. They were married in the US.

Regards,
Garyt1

If you are lookign for living fmaily, find out what gmina it's in and phone the Dział Ewidencji Ludności to see if any Trawińskis still live there. For historical records, check with the Archiwum Akt Dawnych or a private genealogist. If desired, I can provide some addresses.
