Help with a Polish name please
« on: Thursday 10 August 23 16:40 BST (UK) »
This is a long shot, but during WW2 my mother worked with a Polish woman she called Evelyn and this is phonetic, Las-chover with the accent on the final syllable.

I have been toying with some time and think she may well have anglisiced her first name from Ewelina and that her last name may be either Laszczowa or Łaszczowa, but I don't know whether either of those would work as a surname.

Either way, I think she probably went to the US after the war, but I cannot find any trace of her.

Thanks
