Hi
The Partitions of Poland or Partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth – three partitons which took place in the second half of the 18th century and ended the existence of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth , resulting in the elimination of sovereign Poland for 123 years. The partitions were perpetrated by the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia and Habsburg Austria, which divided up the Commonwealth lands among themselves progressively in the process of territorial seizures.Thats why in some documents you can find Austrian and Polish.
GALICIA belonged to Austra after partition.
SILESIA belonged to Prussia after partition
ADAMCZYK but also ADAMIAK are surely polish surnames
