Hi I noticed that you used Mikulicz in one of your articles on Polish surnames. I was wondering if you had any info on that name. I went to Poland last year and it was wonderful, especially the food, yum. Thanks.

Welcome to the Forum Alexk32,

We are on vacation with family now. When only I am back I will check information about Mikulicz and reply you. We plan to be at home at the beginning of next week.

Where have you been in Poland? Have you visited your ancestors' places?

I and many of my guests agree that food is one of big attractions here, especially if you have opportunity to be in the countryside Very Happy.
