I expect there is some connection. My Grandmother's name was Maryanna Jzyk Zdon. She had been in the US since the 1890's, although I am unsure of exacty when she came. I have her place of birth as Niewodna, Poland but am not sure of the accuracy of that. She named one of her sons Walter. My mother remembered the spelling of the name to be sometimes with an "I"....she thought maybe Izyk, but didnt know for sure. I have her parents as Peter and Victoria Sanetnik. Do you recall anything in your family history about a sister/relative that died in a fire..possibly in Adams?
