Research notes I have an absolute ton of notes drawn from a pretty

voluminous amount of information won freely, principally from English spoken websites.


I found this ‘more generalised approach’ much more productive in discovering a mine of information about the surname's origins, associations, and even its original literal meaning and source, as well as the (to me) seemingly surprisingly high percentage of respected or august (and as in either influential and or eminent) people who (taken as a group) on first site appear to have more in common than just a perchance sharing of the Kleczkowski/ska surnamename. To outline my theory, I believed there could be a high chance of consanguinity among a name as rare as Kleczkowksi. My theory was proved right; the confirming research had been completed without my knowledge.  



I took this general approach after having paid and tried researching my family tree on one of the major Anglo-American based family tree sites. All I really got for my investment was a visual representation of my immediate family tree - which I could perhaps print out and distribute to every immediate and known about family member as a possibly ironic joke/keepsake! The Kleczkowksi name (as it is mostly limited to the masculine form here in Britain at least, especially among second and third etc. generation Polish-English people, - as such my branch of the (theoretical/hypothecical) Kleczkowksi ‘clan’, or extended family.


I won’t write much more except to say, I am keen to chat with any knowledgeable or equally interested parties; as I’m sure there are bits of important information I may have missed or not become aware of.


I won't have time at this moment except to observe that, thanks to a fairly small - but significant - minority of those bearing the surname Kleczkowksi/Kleczkowska (as I'm aware the masculine/feminine distinction is still observed in Poland - as far as names ending in -ski / ska pertain).
