                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      Hi Angela,&lt;br /&gt;
His parents, according to this email you received, were Stanislaw Kowalski and Maryanna Kowalska, whose maiden name was Larwa. Think of the phrase &amp;quot;z Larwów&amp;quot; as meaning &amp;quot;of the Larwa family,&amp;quot; where the word &amp;quot;family&amp;quot; is implied. Because her name is not the subject of the sentence, the ending of her name changes from Maryanna to Maryanny, but don't let that confuse you. Her name was Maryanna.&lt;br /&gt;
Hope this helps,&lt;br /&gt;
