[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Kaminski and Sebroski from Rypin

[krampetz at aol.com]

My own Polish grandmother,  married to Joseph Niewiera
Arrived with her daughter, my mother,  under the  NOT  MISPELLED
names of   Roszalia and Mary Niewierowa ..    The  female ending of his 
name.
(which they apparently dropped after being here)
 
I've also seen a 'y' added to the end of Jakuc,   and 'o' endings  changed 
to 'a'
for women in a Polish family.
There are a number of other odd (to us present day people) endings  for
feminine name forms of Polish surnames.   I'm sure there's a list  
somewhere.
 
So use the Steve Morse web site when searching Ellis Island,  and  leave
off the last letter or two.

I never would've found 'em without it.

Hal,

I do not see any Brinkmann or Brickmann names in our  databases that seem 
to fit the information that you have  provided.   I also do not see any 
records that seem to match up  for Sebroski or Zabroski or Kaminski.

You will want to keep an open  mind when you look for surnames that end 
in ski, as they may be the Polish  version of a German name.   For 
instance, it is well documented  that Kaminski (from the Polish word 
Kamien, meaning stone) is linked to  the German name Stein and Steinke 
(both of which have Stein, or stone as  part of the name.   I have no 
hard evidence, but it appears that  the Polish language is a bit vague in 
translations at times, so the German  name might be anything with Stein 
as part of the name, including  Koberstein, or other names.   I also do 
not see any records that  match with the data you have given below using 
names that have Stein as  part of the name.   The best way to find out if 
any of our data  matches yours, however, is for you to submit a gedcom 
file with your data  in it.   Please see the submittal standards at
