Marcia,

The firt one is straightforward:

Kozibroda or rather kozia broda, beard of a goat, goatee beard.

The second seems to be part of names derived of given names: Barbara, Bartłomiej, Bastian, Barabasz, Bartholomeum alias Basz

see Basz, Baszczuk in http://www.stankiewicze.com/index.php?kat=44&sub=531

Best,
Elzbieta

Hello Elzbieta,
Thank you very much.....I am glad to get a confirmation of my grandmother's maiden name of "goat's beard" as this is what she would say but then I heard a different interpretation....this person said, it means "one who is from Koziebrody"....so I looked up this town and it is in eastern Poland, near Plock. Also very interesting. Baszczuk is my grandfather's name.....he married this grandmother Kozibroda. Thank you very much again! Marcia
