My grandathers name was Stefan Driezic. His Declaration of Intention papers say he was from Odryzyn, Poland. Would anyone know if there are any other Driezic's left. He came to the US in 1914 with a cousin. I would appreciate anything anyone would know.

Please re-check the spelling. That spelling does not exist in Poland.

Maybe it's Dziedzic?

Many Americans have a hard time deciphring the fancy, cirlicue-rich Old World script found in baptismal/birth certificates and other documents of the late 19th and early 20th centuries (before typewriting became widespread). Hence some take a lower case z to be an r, a low-lopped low o may look like an a, the barred ³ gets confused with a t, etc., etc.

Actually the spelling is on his Declaration of Intention Papers. The name is also written in his handwritting, in ink across the top of the picture. I cannot find anything about him at all, he never liked to talk about his life. It could possibly be Dziedic. He had a brother, and 2 step-sisters. Is Odryzyn in Poland? Is there any information about Dziedzic?
