Looking for any info on Zientara (also Ziętara, etc.) persons from late 1700's to about 1820. Cannot find birth or marriage of my great-great-grandmother, Ewa Zientara. She raised her family in Zurawia, near Kcynia. Thanks for any help. Mary

ZIENTARA, also spelt ZIĘTARA: believed to have been derived from the German term Sinter meaning the scum formed on molten metal. Someone working in a smelter might have been nicknaemd Sinter which in a Polish-speaking area got Polonised into Zientar, Zientarz, Zientarski, Zientara or similar.
