That is wonderful thanks.? yes I have clues as to where
they are from.? On other lists I never received much response and didnot
give much info this time.? My grandfather came from? tarnopol which I
realize is now Ternopil Ukraine.? We have birth and marriage certificates
of theirs as well as other documnetation that we believe to be a will of
sorts.? Of course it is written is Polish and we are unable to
decipher.? My fathers 2 oldest brothers were born there (tarnopol)?as
well.? we do have some sibling names but not a lot of information about
them.? We know that ALL Hercuns in Canada and US are relations but trying
to send writen word to them via letter or email has been nonproductive.?
Thank you for all your help.? There has also? been talk of the name
originally HERZ but we do not habve evidence of such.? I believe that it is
not a common name.? I have searched ellis Island and beleive that grandpas
siblings did immigrate as well.? Some did stay in
Poland/Ukraine.
Thanks again and any other info is welcome

While there were 35 Hercuns in Poland in the
early 1990s, the thing with Polish is those pesky accents. ?When you
enter Hercu* into the finder, it makes the last letter a wild card, revealing
another 178 more names under Hercun' (the n has an accent, sounding like the
first sound in the Russian 'nyet').
Do you have ANY clue as to where
your family was from?
Here's a few found in the on-line phonebook
http://www.ditel.pl/asp/szukaj_a.asp? (which is very finicky) most in the
Lower Silesia province (woj. dolnoslaskie). ?Bizzarely, on this website
here the * is used as an accent symbol - you enter it after any letter that
needs an accent....

In the
latest Polish phone books, they enter the street but not the street number for
privacy reasons... ?will Polish Post deliver to an address without a
street number? ?Perhaps... but heck you could always phone around,
remembering country code 48 in front of each number (find a local
Polish-speaking friend to help first?)
Good luck!

From: "michelle Moffatt"
[...] I have
put the lst name in Herby and have determined that there are 35 Hercun s
that currently live in Poland. ?what I was hoping for was some
addresses so that I could possibly write directly to them to deteremine if
they are related. ?I live in Manitoba, canada so if there are any
genealogical groups that you could refer me to that would be
wonderful.
thanks
