&lt;br /&gt;
I'm currently trying to gather genealogical information about the Polish side of my family but I'm having trouble with one of my greatgrandmothers, whom I know very little about. Her maiden name was Grugel and I was hoping that maybe it could give me some indications about her background but I haven't found much about the name online. &lt;br /&gt;
Would anyone here be able to help?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you!&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Happy New Year,&lt;br /&gt;
