I understand that there is Uzar farmland in Padew, Poland, so I would be interested in learning of that. I was told Uzar comes from Hzar's from the middle east?

I am not able to tell you if there in Padew is Uzar farmland. However, if you check here: http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/uzar.html you will see that the most Uzars currently live in Mielec area. I have even come across information that a Jan Uzar is a member of local authorities in Padew Narodowa, click here: http://www.padewnarodowa.com.pl/asp/pl_start.asp?typ=14&sub=51&menu=58&strona=1 And this guy, Rafal Uzar, has family in Padew. Click here: http://newzar.wordpress.com/2007/11/27/where-shall-wolves-bobcats-and-moose-go/ and read comments to this blog post. Now about surname; Uzar according to Fred Hoffman is from Huzar - "Hussar". More about famous in the whole Europe a few centuries ago Polish Hussars you can find in our Forum, e.g. here: http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?t=275 |
