Hi, as much as we know, my husband's grandfather was born in Prussia or Warsaw. I don't know that country. We don't know much more information about his grandfather. We have gotten ahold of a couple of YERZY'S thru the internet and theyhave all been Jewish.
My husband's grandfathercould have been Jewish when he came to the U.S. but he was supposed to be only 14 years old and he was suppose to come with someone else, probably someone older????

I also saw another name that sounds like either your last name or our last name. If you want to get a hold of me at:
Always, Marie

In response, my grandmother before she died did tell me that our name used to be spelled something like Jerzykowicz (in any case it started with a "J")

You have the Yescavage last name? I am still learning bits and pieces as I just met my father - still don't have all of the history. Spelled with a J? I was told different but the pronunciation did sound like J.

Tina,
My husbands last name is Yerzy. His grandfather was Yerxykowicz. He had 4 or 5 uncles and they decided to take of the 'kowicz". My husband never knew his grandfather who died in 1944 and his uncles all died by the age of 50 because of bad hearts. My husband lost his father when he was 6 months old. I have tried to get info but have gotten nowhere. The info I was given that Grandpa Yerzykowicz came in thru Ellis Island around 1882 but I find nothing, so I have to do alot of researching......I have been told that in Poland a last name is never started with a "Y". I have found a site where ther was a Jerzykowicz but I guess not very many people with that name. So that is all i can tell u.
Always , Marie
