Re: Family names from Krasne, Russia-Naliboki, Poland (Terissa Schor) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2007 08:39:29 -0400 From: "Terissa Schor" Subject: Re: [PBS] Family names from Krasne, Russia-Naliboki, Poland To: polandbordersurnames@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <110520d70708090539k138320f7j8198dc9fd16bb738@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi Tracy- Women's last names end in "-a" in proper Polish. If a man's name is Kowalski, his wife would be referred to as Kowalska. (I believe a family buried together might have the ending change to "-scy." Others, please correct me if I am inaccurate there.) The "-sz" would be pronounced with a "-shhh." Tulpinski sounds like the most likely "correct" of the basic name. Do not get too confused by the manifest spellings. They are riddled with errors and most of us find that the old "name changed at Ellis Island" story is seldom true. What other information do you have about your family? Do you have the census records? I'd be happy to send them to you if you do not have them. -Terissa On 8/8/07, Lilfeets33@aol.com wrote: > > Hello, > > I am writing this email in hopes to find a living relative. > > Anna "Annie" TULPINSKI, On her head stone it is listed as TULPINSKI, but > according to the passenger list from 20 Mar 1908, SS Pretoria, she is > listed as > Anna TULIPNSKA from Krause or Krasne, Russia. > > One year earlier her mother Marianna "Mary" had migrated to New York > also, > though her name on her head stone is TULPINSKI but on the manifest from > 20 Apr > 1907 SS Silvia, she is listed as TULPINSZKA, also from Krasne, but born > in > "Wigrach".
