Hi all,

Thank you very much for you time and effort in looking into this for me! My cousin in Poland, posted the Photo on another website for translation and someone came back with similar to what you yourselves have posted also.

There are a couple of differences with the maiden names of the women on the document however. On Katarzyna's Death Certificate it gives her mothers maiden name as Walasek. And Katarzyna's maiden name is Jasiak. Also, Stanisław's mother, Apolonia, her maiden name were given to believe was Szlufcik. However the translation that came back stated her name was Szlufunk, and now we have another one of Schlufurt. Hard to know which one would be correct! Apparently the certificate also states that Apolonia was deceased by the time of her son's marriage.

Also, to me, the surnames - Golba, Jasiak, Szlufcik/Szlufunk/Schlufurt, Walasek...  don't sound typically Polish in origin.

Hopefully more certificates can be requested and the story can continue!

I would say that Golba, Jasiak, Szlufcik and Walasek are all Polish surnames. Maybe not very common.

Szlufunk/Schlufurt look like a German version of Szlufcik. The variations could come about by interpretation of Cyrillic and and how document writers understood the spoken name if your ancestors were illiterate taking into account that it could be a rare surname.

Hi Keelan,

Also, to me, the surnames - Golba, Jasiak, Szlufcik/Szlufunk/Schlufurt, Walasek...  don't sound typically Polish in origin.

Today you will find more than 300 potential Walasek relatives in the Buski county around Piasek Wielki!

Golba (1800+), Jasiak (3500+), Walasek (3600+) are common names in the southern part of Poland. You will find 250 Jasiaks in and around Tarnów city ...

Szlufcik (60+), one third are living in Kraków.

Nice places tor marry:

Not Szlufunk and not Schlufurt. Szlufcik (Шлюфцикъ). That's clear. Also Jasiak (Ясякъ) , not Jasiek.
