&lt;br /&gt;
Where do Viktoria Kroll lived? before she got married to Edward Parzygnat? Who are their ancestors. I believe my Great Grandmother didn't like to move out of Poland.  She died in Poland in 1947.  I don't know why? &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_confused.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Confused&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where Edward Parzygnat lived? Who are their ancestors. All I know my Great Grandfather never like to lives in Poland.  He settled in Chicago, IL. until his death in 1935.  &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_cry.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Crying or Very sad&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seem like my ancestors moved all over the places.  &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_question.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Question&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any help would be appreciated and you all have been great helps to all.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for adding Krol &amp;amp; Parzygnat.&lt;br /&gt;
I just talking to my cousin who know little more and we did check village on Polish map.  Seem like my relatives don't know too much about histories.  I think some of them are living in U.S.A.  We know our Great Grandparents were poor and had farm and now our cousins are living there.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometime I click post and I get Polish language and sorry I don't read Polish.  I am living in Chicago, IL.  We have to speak English at work. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks.</description>

In one of the previous posts I wrote you a little about your Parzygnat Polish surname: &lt;a href=&quot;http://polishorigins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1918&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://polishorigins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1918&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And as 'boskee' writes, Król is a very popular surname in Poland and literally means in Polish &amp;quot;king&amp;quot;. Also, it may mean &amp;quot;rabbit&amp;quot; and is used especially among older people at the countryside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kroll is not Polish surname.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you for replying back to me.  So what is Kroll :  Russian or German or Austrian.&lt;br /&gt;
I am kinda confusing.</description>

                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width=&quot;90%&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;3&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 	  &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;genmed&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;boskee wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;quote&quot;&gt;Arlene,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Parzygnat is definitely a polish surname. It means Chef/Cook. Here is the map showing people with that surname living in Poland: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/parzygnat.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/parzygnat.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As for Krol, I am guessing it was originally Król - polish for king. As you can see here &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/kr%25C3%25B3l.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/kr%25C3%25B3l.html&lt;/a&gt; it's a very common surname.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you very much for more informations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now I am wondering, my relatives sometimes write Kroll or Krol, I am wondering if they make mistake in writing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What about Kroll?</description>

                                      Arlene,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Parzygnat is definitely a polish surname. It means Chef/Cook. Here is the map showing people with that surname living in Poland: &lt;a href=&quot;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Parzygnat&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Parzygnat&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As for Krol, I am guessing it was originally Król - polish for king. As you can see here &lt;a href=&quot;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Kr%C3%B3l&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Kr%C3%B3l&lt;/a&gt; it's a very common surname.</description>

                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_question.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Question&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;   My Grandmother Viktoria Krol married Ed Parzygnat in 1800's somewhere around there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am curious about Parzygnat, someone told us that is French Last name.  &lt;br /&gt;
Parzygnat - Parisian (Paris, France)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krol - Austrian name&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is it correct? &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_cry.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Crying or Very sad&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any help would be appreciates.</description>
