I'm wondering if I still have any relatives in Poland. My grandmother was Kamillia Tuzinowska from Gruta area. Her mother was Anastazia Malinowska, and her mother was Barbara Susmarski and her parents were Joannes Szmarski and Francisca Rutkowska of Briesen, Marienwerder, West
Preussen, Prussia. (Gruta was once Prussia). Kamillia came to the US as a very young woman with her sister Jadwiga.

If anyone has any information on these families from that area, please contact me. Thank you very much.

My grandfather came from the Radom area... a farm. He had many brothers. I'm looking to find if any of them are still alive. The father of the family was Jozef Wojtowicz and one son was named Jozef. The brothers that came to America were Thomas, John, and Walter. Thank you very much.

slotqueen: The brothers that came to America were Thomas, John, and Walter. your request is pretty big, you want information and give very little. One thing to remember is that the only people that know your family is your family. I also want to point out you left out dates. is your grandfather still alive? any uncles still alive? have you spoken with extended family here in the states?

SUSMARSKI: probably derived from German adj. süß (sweet – nice, pleasant, mild) or Polonised equivalent of German/Yiddish surname Süßmann.

SZMARSKI: possibly patronymic for son of someone nicknamed Smarz (variant of smardz - morel mushroom)

WÓJTOWICZ: patronymic for son of the wójt (village mayor)

TUZINOWSKI: from tuzin (dozen)

MALINOWSKI: topo nick from Malinowo (Raspberryville)

RUTKOWSKI: topo nick from Rutków or Rutkowo (Rueville).
