Wow! That is so great!!! Thank you to Fred!! I am so sorry I didn't respond earlier. I didn't receive any email notifications. Perhaps I accidentally deleted it. All of this information is incredible. What a great source of knowledge.

Cheri-
Julian's parents names were Michael/Michal Sulzycki and Paulina Moroz. I don't believe they ever came to the US, unless maybe for a visit. It is amazing to me the trouble I have had finding any immigration records. The very few records for any Sulzycki's I have found listed their final destination as Pennsylvania. Julian (uncle Jules to my Grandfather!) came some time around 1908 and appears in Easthampton, Massachusetts in the 1910 Census and that is where he would stay and get married and raise a family.

Paul- I sent you and email. Hope you got it!

zulu - Gotta love your enthusiasm! Gotta love Fred!

Laurie G. - Do you happen to know Julian's father's name? I'm sorry to say that you are right about how hard it is to find the Sulzycki spelling on any manifests. It's amazing to me that Julian's name gets spelled correctly in the census!

Oryginal form Sulżycki or Sulżyc
etymology:
Sulżycki- It comes from the name village in Poland (gmina Glinojeck)- Suleżyrz
Suleżyc- East-Slavonic word "śluga"- left arm or in everyday language- szluga, that is bone

I'm sorry for my english, I'm from Poland and I don't speak anglish very well

Thank you so much Cheri! I had a feeling I wasn't finding him (Julian) because of spelling errors in the last name. Thank you for your help, maybe I can check out the people you have found and see if they could be related. Thanks!!

Laurie, It looks like Sulżycki is the correct surname. As you can see, the only difference is the diacritical mark above the z. This name shows up on the Polish surname map https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Sul%C5%BCycki , whereas the spelling without the diacritical mark does not. Of course that wouldn't explain why you can't find them on a ship manifest, though it looks like this name could be misinterpreted by an indexer. There is a Stanislaw Sulzychi that came through Ellis Island 7 Apr 1912. I didn't look, but I would guess the surname was supposed to be Sylzycki. Ancestry has an Edward Sulzycki coming through Ellis Island on 16 Oct 1913, and an Antoni and Helene Sulzycki coming through Philadelphia 8 Nov 1909. Like I said, I imagine there are others that the indexers misinterpreted...The Sulżycki and feminine Sulżycka surnames do show up on Geneteka when the diacritical mark is used.

Hi all! Looking for help find the origin/meaning of the surname Sulzycki. I haven't been able to find out what the name means. I have also been looking for records with no real luck on Geneteka. I figured by understanding more about the name that it could lead to more clues. I believe these family members were from the Russian partion of Poland. He says he is from "Swid" (I know there are many) and then on another document says Leonowicae, Russia which I am guessing may be Leonowicze. Also would any know if there is a probable different variation for spelling of this name? Haven't even been able to find any Sulzycki's in the ship manifests and there are a good amount in Mass and in CT. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!
