Matti - Krupa Family Members - Matti Castle Kracow

I am looking for anyone with the last name of Matti. This is the name of may paternal Grandmother, My grandfathers last name is Krupa. The Matti/Krupa family were from Kracow and left Poland in or around 1890 for the United States. They arrived in Philidelphia. can anyone help? Paul Krupa- Beaverton OR,US

While Krupa is undoubtedly a name of Polish or other Slavonic origin, Matti looks to be Hungarian. Naturally its bearrers may have lived in southern Poland for centuries, been thoroughly Polonized and not even aware of their distant Magyar roots. For more information on this please contact research60@gmail.com

I know a Polish guy with the last name Krupa.

where is the Polish guy living?

I am really looking for the Matti Family Castle in Kracow. My Grandfather was the gardener for the estate that was were my Great Grandfather was the owner. This was a true Romeo & Juliet storey. Does nayone know of a Matti Castle in Kracow,Poland?

Is there a Castle with the name Matti associated with it, in Krackow?????????????

i've never heard of it...
are you sure it's a castle...?

It may have just been a 5000 square foot house and not a castle. thanks for your reply.

I think he is originally from Łodz. He is in the Greater Toronto Area.

Sounds more like a manor house.

My professor's last name is Krupa :P She lives in Wrocław but I have no idea where she is from originally.

Any relations to the legendary jazz drummer Gene Krupa (born in Chicago around 1909)?

There are more than 23,000 Krupas in Poland, making it a very popular surname. The likelihood of being related to some namesake is like finding relatives among Whites, Summers, Harrisons, Bakers and Wilsons in the English-speaking world.

Yes,

He was a 2nd cousin. he was the nefew of my grandfather who emigrated to the US around 1895. My parrents tried to meet him in 1950, but her was too wealthy to have anything to do with his cousins.

How about a manor house? Have you hear of any associated to the Name Matti?

There are six people in Poland surnamed Matti and eight who sign themselves Maty. None live in the Kraków area.

Do you knwo what cities some of the 8 live? Perhaps they moved out of Krakow the same time my Grandfather left Poland and settled elswhere?

Three people named Maty live in the Greater Warsaw area and the remaining 5 make their home in the Łomża area to the NE of Warsaw.

Thank you that gives me a start.

There were Krupa's in East Chicago, Indiana. The local American Legion Hall, Post 369, is named after John Krupa. If I'm not mistaken John Krupa was big in local politics in the 1950's until his death in the late 1970's or early 1980's. Years ago, right around the corner from me, was a tavern owned by a Henry Krupa. Henry has since passed on. I had a friend named Sandy Krupa, who was related to Gene Krupa. Sandy passed away several years ago at a relatively young age. I'm sure she still has relatives. I also recall that one of my relatives with the last name of Teles, had a sister who married a Krupa. She may have married the aforementioned John Krupa. I'm not sure.
