Information on family name, Krzycki

Hi,

I'm brand new to this forum. I would appreciate it if somebody could point me in some directions to find out more on my friend's family name, Krzycki. I want him to learn more about his family so he can get in touch with his roots.

I'm not of Polish descent but I'm proud of my heiratage and want him to be as well.

Thanks all!

Lincoln? what country are you in?

my only help is in the U.S. as for Poland, once you find a town name then you can
write to parish.

But I am sure there are others here who can help

I'm in the U.S. Who can I write to?

Thanks.

Vespa,

first of all, without proper knowledge I cant help you.

when did your family immigrate?

if it was early on, I can direct you to the ellis island site. they have up to 1924.
if it was late I can look into my ancestry and see if there is anyone by that name
and the location Which I need that too, what state

as for records. I will try to find a link to the town name, unless it was later
on. genealogy is hard, you have to have little more then just the name because
the name could be spread around the world

so info I need is.

location of where they grew up
(make sure they always stayed there too

Time frame of immigration. I will check some stuff out and see if I can lead you
in right direction

some times local librarys have genealogy like Obits and old news articles.
thats another direction you can also try for now till I get a location of this family
in the states.

Thank-you Patrycja19. My friend grew up in Columbus, Nebraska. I'll try and get more information out of him as far as parents names, grandparents, etc.

Just finding out where other Krzycki's live in Poland or other parts of Europe would be great. Plus any famous (or infamous ) figures in his family line would be interesting as well.

I'll do some asking around here and get back to this post. Thanks again!

No problem the more the better

and your welcome

Vespa, Heres some interesting reading, and all are welcome to read this
because it does explain some other interesting facts about immigrants in
the Detroit Area!! maybe I should have made this a open discussion on
another thread?

Excellent! I'll see if my friend can trace his roots back to Detroit. Would be interesting if he can link up to the Leo Krzycki bloodline. I'll be back with some more info about his family here in the near future.

Franz, Julie, Gislaf and Costantia Krzycki came to the US as afamily in 1872. This seems to be the group that came to Nebraska later on. Ask your friend if this could be the link.

Thank-you very much for that information! I will pass that along.

Try the name Krysick. I think Krzycki or Krzysik is the name on my grandfather's grave. (Peter-died in 1952.) But my father and other grandfather's last name was Americanized to Krysick when he came from Poland. Check these out and I think you'll find what you are looking for.
Hope this helps.

Ok, so for starters this name is listed as a Russian name of royal heritage. It is also the name of a village in Galicia, Poland ( at one time Preussia, Germany, Austrian, pick your time and there was a different ruling power!). It is a polish and russian name. It is also listed as a Polish name of Royal heritage.

Back in February you mentioned getting in touch with the Leo Krzycki family? Which Leo Krzycki? That is my fathers name as well as my great grandfather.

Hi,
My name is Michal Krzycki, I don't know much about my roots, but I am almost sure that the origin of our surname is very old and has a lot of common with nobilities which have been mixed with villagers. The family has spread all over the Poland and not only, so our roots have been forgotten.
Every Krzycki or Krzycka has a common source which is an Western part of Poland, near Germany. Find on the map Krzycki Rów (I think it can be translated on Krzycki's Ditch or something like that).
I have never cared about my roots but one day a Polish from Germany wrote me a long e-mail about his roots and he is very proud of these. I know he is trying to create a website with a big autentical family tree. I read that our family had a bigger influence on the result of the war, but I don't remember which war (bigger than the royal family).
Only thing I remember is that my nearest family from the last centuries lived in Eastern part of Poland near Ostrołęka.
Michał Krzycki (25),

There are 270 people named Krzycki in Poland. For more information contact research60@gmail.com
BTW you can tell your friend that Polish surnames ending in -ski and -cki have a noble ring to them and are the equiavelent of German names starting with von and French ones with de. In an English context, assuming your friend's Christian name is Thomas, Tomasz Krzycki would be roughly translatable as Thomas of Ryeshire.
