| | Well no Surname Resource Centre site for the surname Czarnik would be
complete unless you included information about the country of ethnic origin,
Poland. We certainly would not claim to be the be all and end all source
of information on Poland. But what we will start with are some links that
we have identified in our WWW travels, that cover things starting from the basic
geography (yes MAPS!), culture, history and where possible specific genealogical
links that may help us and others find more info about our family's specifics.
As briefly detailed in Accessgenealogy
Researcher Listings for Czarnik
the immediate family (late 1800's) related directly to Larry &
Colleen Czarnik come from Zaborow, a town in SE Poland near Rzeszow. For
more details about Czarniks in Poland, see
Czarnik SRC - Archives - Poland.
Since some of the sites below are in Polish, we though it useful to include a
link to a English-Polish, Polish-English web based translator we have just
found. InterTran (tm)
As we get more familiar with InterTran we will incorporate it more into our
website.
[2003JN16 - Webmaster note: We are disappointed to find that
InterTran(tm) now only charges for their service / software. We will find
another web based English-Polish-English translation service shortly. If
you have any leads or ideas, please e-mail
webmaster@tovegin.com.au]

History of Polish Surnames
- The 10-volume, 6000+ page "Slownik Nazwisk" (History of Polish Surnames)
by Rymut is now online! It's in Polish, but if you use the
InterTran translation site (mentioned above), you
get a pretty good translation into English (or most other languages).
One hint, if you need to use a diacritic on a letter in spelling a surname to
look up and can't, use an * or ? symbol instead. The "Szukaj" button means
"search".
