                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      Tammy,&lt;br /&gt;
Here is what I was able to find:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Surname &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Lorbiecki &lt;/span&gt; comes from the German name Rolbeck and toponym Rolbecke. This surname is the most popular in Kashubia region. See the distribution map: &lt;a href=&quot;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Lorbiecki&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Lorbiecki&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See the records with lorbiecki people available in Geneteka database: &lt;a href=&quot;https://geneszukacz.genealodzy.pl/index.php?search_lastname=Lorbiecki&amp;amp;from_date=&amp;amp;to_date=&amp;amp;rpp1=&amp;amp;bdm=&amp;amp;url1=&amp;amp;w=&amp;amp;lang=eng&amp;amp;op=se&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;https://geneszukacz.genealodzy.pl/index.php?search_lastname=Lorbiecki&amp;amp;from_date=&amp;amp;to_date=&amp;amp;rpp1=&amp;amp;bdm=&amp;amp;url1=&amp;amp;w=&amp;amp;lang=eng&amp;amp;op=se&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Listen how this surname is pronounced in Polish (click on the “Listen” button): &lt;a href=&quot;https://translate.google.pl/#view=home&amp;amp;op=translate&amp;amp;sl=en&amp;amp;tl=pl&amp;amp;text=Lorbiecki&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;https://translate.google.pl/#view=home&amp;amp;op=translate&amp;amp;sl=en&amp;amp;tl=pl&amp;amp;text=Lorbiecki&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Surname &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Wicki&lt;/span&gt; and its feminine version &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Wicka&lt;/span&gt; comes from names beginning with &amp;quot;Wi-&amp;quot; such as Wit, Wincenty, Wiktor. See the distribution map: &lt;a href=&quot;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Wicki&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Wicki&lt;/a&gt;. As you will see it is also a Kashubian surname.&lt;br /&gt;
Geneteka database: &lt;a href=&quot;https://geneszukacz.genealodzy.pl/index.php?search_lastname=Wicka&amp;amp;from_date=&amp;amp;to_date=&amp;amp;rpp1=&amp;amp;bdm=&amp;amp;url1=&amp;amp;w=&amp;amp;lang=pol&amp;amp;op=se&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;https://geneszukacz.genealodzy.pl/index.php?search_lastname=Wicka&amp;amp;from_date=&amp;amp;to_date=&amp;amp;rpp1=&amp;amp;bdm=&amp;amp;url1=&amp;amp;w=&amp;amp;lang=pol&amp;amp;op=se&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Surname Quade is not Polish, however still there are some indexed records in Geneteka: &lt;a href=&quot;https://geneszukacz.genealodzy.pl/index.php?search_lastname=Quade&amp;amp;from_date=&amp;amp;to_date=&amp;amp;rpp1=&amp;amp;bdm=&amp;amp;url1=&amp;amp;w=&amp;amp;lang=eng&amp;amp;op=se&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;https://geneszukacz.genealodzy.pl/index.php?search_lastname=Quade&amp;amp;from_date=&amp;amp;to_date=&amp;amp;rpp1=&amp;amp;bdm=&amp;amp;url1=&amp;amp;w=&amp;amp;lang=eng&amp;amp;op=se&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
