Hi Ricardo
?
You should try reading Straws in the Wind by Eugene
Krajewski. At the beginning of his story he talks about names ending in?ski
and wicz, which indicated noble ancestry. Very interesting and the whole book is
a must read for all of us. Very easy to read and a very good portrayal of
Eugene's family's experiences.

Subject: [Kresy-Siberia] Surname
suffix
Hello
group,
?
I always heard
from my Mom?that the suffix -wicz was added to my surname at some point
in history. According to her, it was given to people who fought in wars and
returned as heroes (or something along the lines). Does anybody has any
information about this and how it worked? An email from Bela made me wonder,
since there is another Polish family named Grzybowski (same prefix, different
suffix) and according to my research, the two families are not related
(one?comes from a?Polish/Catholic branch?the other one comes
from a Jewish branch).
?
Thanks in advance
for your help
