Hey Guys
New to the website. Looking to get some information and any history to my Dad's side of the family. I don't know much about before my grandparents arrived in Montreal Canada from warsaw shortly after WW2. I know their last name was changed to Zablocki. I don't even know how the original was spelled. Just that it sounds a lot different than how it is now spelt. Any ideas or links. Thanks
Landon

Hi Lando, your last name spelling is Zabłocki, like here: pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprian_Zab%C5%82ockieven some Polish aristocrats had this last name. There is even a story behind the saying: "wyjść jak Zabłocki na mydle" Zablocki was trying to avoid tax by hiding the soap in the barque in the river, but soap got wet... and didn't survive the water travel...
