Anyone know the place, PHOTZ. I cant find anything at all.


Perhaps this is a reference to Plock:

Can't help noticing this from the National Archives:

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/displaycataloguedetails.asp?CATLN=6&CATID=5110345&j=1

A relative perhaps? Note the spelling of the original Russian name: Blaschkofsky

If you click on the hyperlink I provided in reply no.23 above, you will see that it is a naturalisation record.

I am just wondering something.  Im looking at the incoming passenger list into the UK and cant find any Blaschkofsky or JOSEPH KOSKY on the list.

I searched JOSEPH KOSKI and some come up.

Is it possible he was listed as KOSKI when coming over ?

Yes def is possible, it could be the person who wrote the records interpretation of his surname.  My family started as Kosky, then went onto spelling it Koski and later Koskie!!  Confusing I known, but with surnames like this spelling changes really need to be kept in the equation!!

Blaschkofsky makes no sense in Polish.

sch = sz. They have a similar sound.

kof = kow. Sound vaugely similar

The ending... male... would be i

The ending... female... would be a

Similar would be with Blachskosky

A google search will bring up loads of Blaszkowsk(y/i/e)
Dawson,    Carruthers,     Lawson,     Robinson,
Elliott,  Keily,  Adams,  Jolly/Jolley,  Wilson,  Hills,  Spearing,  Bowe.
