This looks like the name was mangled from whatever it really is. Possibly it was copied from a scribbled note, or just repeated from a hazy memory. There are other spelling errors on the form. His name is spelled twice as "Modzeleswki", once as "Modzelewski" which has to be the right spelling, and once as "Modzeleswski". And the mother's name "Gooeski" or "Goolski" can't possibly be right.
