Pyszka...

I've been trying to build a family tree of my family. Our last name is Pyszka. My grandfather came from Poland in the 1930's. I can't find any information. Just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Is Pyszka a common name? Also, does it have a meaning?

Thanks!

I visited my family near the Vistula River near Parsanow. My maiden name is Pyszka. I was able to visit where my grandfather grew up prior to him leaving Poland to escape the war. He did leave behind many brothers and sisters but he did have one brother already in Niagra Falls, NY. He ended up in South Attleboro, MA. My grandfather, Martin Pyszka, came over before 1930, since my dad was born in the US in 1924.

IM ROBERT A. PYSZKA, JR. SON OF GALE (CONLEY) AND ROBERT A. PYSZKA, SR., GRANDSON OF SIGMOND AND DORTHY PYSZKA. BREWCITY, SIGMOND CAME HERE IN THE 1940'S DURING WWII, SHOT IN BATTLE WHILE SERVING THE POLISH ARMY, MEETING DORTHY (EITHER A NURSE IN THE POLAND OR U.S. ARMY, NOT SURE) BREWCITY IS MY TWIN SISTER

ALSO PYSZKA MEANS KING IN POLISH, AND SOMETHING ELSE I WISH NOT WRITE IN CZECH

I'm also a Pyszka, hehehehe. Came over on a sleigh, fell off, got shot, then mugged. Have several twin bothers. hehehe. You'll know them by their avatar...;)

His name was SIGMUND and her name was DOROTHY!

sorry about that uncle mike, my spelling of the names was wrong...and now after talking with you last sunday, guess grandma was here first...lol....see you sometime this summer with the toys

Pyszka is based on pyszny "proud, hauty"

Most of the 974 Pyszkas are located in the northwestern portion of Poland.
