Zenon, thanks for the clarification. I realized what you meant after I had logged off and shut off the computer.

Zenon, Do you mean 176 with the surname, and 2155 people with the first name of Gabor? If not, what is the difference between these two numbers?

I mean 176 with the surname Gaborski and 2155 with the surname Gabor. Sorry for the confusion.

Gabor is a Hungarian first name. We do not use it in Poland as a first name. Polish (and as far as I know English) euqivalent of Hungarian Gabor is Gabriel.

I am looking for the meaning of the surname Gaborski - as well as any ancestoral information that can be found (where I would find it). Thank you.
