1. LAND RECORD LOOKUPS [1]
From: Darlene and Reuben Drefs To: Adalbert Goertz Subject: Re: land records - South Prussia Hello Adalbert Thanks for your comment about costs of look-ups which some people made comments of criticism because they think all genealogy should be free. I actually paid $15,000.00 for the South Prussian and Netze district. I think I have right to recover some of my costs. Those who had already made a contribution on the West Prussian land records may receive the

7. RE: Jelita, Bellum, Guts [1]
> nagody < "Jelita" is a personal name, which became the clan's name, commemorating a common ancestor. "Nagody" is a war-cry ("proclamatio") pure and simple. It has nothing to do with the word "jelita." It's composed of "na" ("to") and "gody" from Common Slavic "*godb" meaning "the anticipated or hoped-for moment."
8. Galinski [1]
Dear Sirs, being a newcomer to this list I have been watching the exchange of ideas for a considerable time. Currently, I feel brave enough to ask for help: My grandfather, Antoni Galinski was in USA from ca. 1894 to ca. 1904 and went back to Poland. Although, a lot of efforts I have paid I am unable to find out whereabouts of his stay in USA. He should be covered by the 1900 census but I was not successful in searching for his name. According to my family tradition, he returned to Poland as a rich man,

Preobrazhensky in Etymological Dictionary of the Russian Language says "proizkhozhdienie slova do sikh por nie mozhet schitat'sia wyiasnieniem" ("Until now interpretation of this word defies explanation"). He goes on to offer possible origins such as Turkish "boila" but none are compellingly convincing. In An Etymological Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language J.B. Rudnyckyj comments, "Like other ancient titles, this term presents serious difficulties in the establishment of its final etymology." Rudnyckyj
11. Re: Henryk Sienkiewicz [1]
Irkuck is likely Irkutsk. Rymut (1994) found 10658 persons in Poland named Sienkiewicz. There would be more persons of that name in Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia. I have a biography of Henryk Sienkiewicz around somewhere, but biographies of illustrious authors do not, in fact, tend to discuss their grandchildren or provide a lot of information about their names and dates. ----- Original Message ----- From: "richard orli" To: Sent: Tuesday, June 1

17. RE: Kolwzan [1]
There are no Kolwzans presently living in the United States. In February of 1974 a Clementyna (Klementyna) Kolwzan died in New York. She was born Nov. 28, 1882. In 2000 Petr Kolvzan was(is?) the chief the Department of Treaties Realization for the St. Petersburg (then Leningrad) Military District. This surname does not seem to be of Slavic origin, but I have checked Turkic, Finnish, Romani, Lithuanian, Georgian, Armenian, and other dictionaries of eastern languages and find nothing similar. It may be a

20. Re: [LITHUANIA-L] Fw: Lithuanian Onomastics [1]
There is no native equivalent in Poland to the two root Lithuanian personal names. Their significance in the Lithuanian case is simply an artifact of the happenstance of Lithuania acquiring fixed surnames just before (pagan) personal names of Lithuanian linguistic origin, generally, became extinct in use. A few exceptions exist, of course. (Most generalizations feature some.) The names of certain much-admired Lithuanian grand dukes, Vytautus, Mindaugas, Gediminas, Jogailo, Kestutis, Algirdas, survived in
21. RE: Brigen/Brigien [1]
The forms "Brigien" and "Brygien" are Polonizations of the fairly common German surname "Bruggen" (Umlaut over the "u'). It belongs to a large group of German surnames derived from "Bru"cke" ("bridge") (compare the English surname "Bridges"). In Polish orthography "e" cannot immediately follow velars "g" or "k" without the insertion of "i." Even in loan words and foreign surnames, Poles often cannot resist adding "i" after "g" or "k" in names of foreign derivation. Polish does not have the equivalent of U
22. RE: Lithuanian Onomastics [1]
> root plus nomen < In Baltic, Slavic and German two-stem names, the first part preserves the root only, but the second part may (but doesn't necessarily) receive a suffix or grammatical ending as in "Stanislawa" where the second part receives a feminine grammatical ending. "Stanislaw" however, preserves both suffix-less roots. Compare German "Freiberg" and "Freiberger" where the second root of the latter form assumes a suffix (but never: "Freierberg" or "Freierberger"). (This isn't a two-stemmed name o

I recently performed an Internet search on "boyar", "boier" and "bajoras".

"boer" (Danish), "boier" (Romanian), "bajoras" (Lituanian), "bujar" (Albanian), "bharu" (Sanscrit), etc. I was wondering if anyone knows the etymology of the Danish word "boer". Is it possible that this Danish word has its roots in the Slavic langua
25. Re: Bitowt,Butowt,Gintowt,Letowt,Mintowt, Ratowt, Syrtowt... Witowd? [1]
Old Prussian was never a written language. What you see here are just Polish spelling of Lithuanian names. Modern written Lithuanian is: Vytautas. The Polish (and other foreign language versions) omit the -as Lithuanian language case ending, and render the -aut as: -old or -owt or -owd. The Lithuanian V is often rendered by the German or Polish W, thus Witold, Witowt, Witowd. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Piotr Letowt-Vorbek" To: Sent: Monday, June
