Reply with quote

Hello This for anyone who might have some information.
My grandfather came from Warsaw Poland. His name was Jan Rudolph Ko---mider the american is John Rudolph Komider. He came over when he was a young boy.
when he joined the Army (in 1917 at age17) they changed his spelling of his last name by dropping some letter or letters. MY first guess was Kosmider, second guess is KOZmider
I am not sure of the polish surnames. I need some help and possible suggestions. All that I know is is was polish and Catholic and from the Warsaw area, and he had a sister named Mary. He came to the US between 1906 and 1910, it is my best guess.
Please is any one can help me with the possible spelling etc i sure would be grateful
Thanks

Susan,
You may want to check out this link here: https://familysearch.org/search/records/index#count=20&query=%2Bgivenname%3A%22Jan%20R%22~%20%2Bsurname%3AKosmider~
The info available there may be helpful in tracing your grandfather's way back to where he originally came from, depending on the records that are available online, of course.

Kośmider sounds the most likely to me, and it quite popular. Here are the search results from the surname database at Moikrewni (showing information from the year 2001):

Kośmider (the s with a "tail" on top): http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/ko%25C5%259Bmider.html
Kosmider: http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/kosmider.html
Kozmider does not appear in the database.
I can't think of another variant of the surname.

To read a discussion on Moikrewni (My relatives), please got to
