Surnames: Chojnowski/Chojnowska Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/RdC.2ACI/289.352 Message Board Post: The female name endings are an "a" as in Bernice Chojnowska. Her father would have been Chojnowski. I have relatives, too, from Lomza, Poland. I don't speak Polish but the name pronounced in English would sound like Woomza. It's spelled Lomza. You may email me for more detail, but Bernice may well have been one of my great great aunts and a sister of Marianna my gggrandmother. juliejb@ptd.net
