Debbie, Thanks for your reply! Yes, I will continue to research records in the US. Not many JASIENCZK in passenger lists going to Scranton area of Pennsylvania. I'll double check all the US parish records I have for variant surnames. Thanks for your suggestions on how to enter the surname into my database. I was curious if this spelling had anything to do with Polish grammar and changes to surname spellings. I have SUT, which I have found with various endings. Thanks again, Harriet
