I can't believe there are no replies to the message I posted in March! Where are the Zychs'? It's not a common surname. My father stood at the border of Poland at the end of WW2- a weary soldier with a new wife and a son he hadn't seen back in Rhode Island. He was afraid to go into Poland to try and find his mother, Barbara Piecuch(sp?) and sister, Francesca -unknown married name. He had already seen so much devestation in Europe and Aushwitz was located not far from Cracow and Tarnow- the borders of the Carpithian mountains where his town was. My fathers' father was Peter Zych and he was killed in WW1 in the Polish air force- I imagine one balsa wood glider...As Ben Stein said in Ferris Buellers' Day Off... Anyone? Anyone?

My name is Judy Kinney, My mothers Maiden name was Zychal. I was questioning if you are sure about the spelling and if it could possibly be Zychal. My grandfather was born in Austria, but my Grandmother was either polish or Jewish, there is some confusion about her last name. But anyway, many names were misspelled when they entered the UnitedStates, and I was questioning if there was a possibility that your name was changed. I too have had problems in finding any Zychals. I wish you luck in your search and who knows mabe somewhere they made a mistake in either of our names and we could be in some way related. If I find anything that our name was added to I will E-mail you and if you find out that there is a lost Joseph in the family, my grandfathers name was Joseph Zychal. I wish you luck in your search.

Austrian connection

My father did mention an Austrian connection more than once. My father stated this his mother would occasionally say that his father (Peter Zych) was not really Polish but Austrian. Of course, if you look at the changes in the borders of the countries in that area the last couple of centuries, you can see that the borders were changed many times. Because of the spelling of the surname and the location of the towns my father remembers, I've always wondered about a Czech connection, also. Thank you for your kind reply and I too will keep in touch. My e-mail is zych@earthlink.net. Have you ever researched the suffix -al as to its possible origins? May prefixes and suffixes are only to indicate relationship. For example, Peter-son and Fitz-gerald, both indicating son of... Once again, thank you.

Dear Mary:

My great Aunt was Mary (Sowa) Zych from Poland. Could this perhaps be a relative of yours. Please let me know if possible. Her parents were Stanley Sowa and Katheryn Smosna. I don't know her husband's name except for the last name Zych.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Gratefully,

My name is Craig Zychal. My Grandfather's brother's name was Joseph. He lived in Scranton, PA I believe. He was the eldest in the family (I have a wonderful picture of ALL of them) and his father may have been named Joseph. If you are interested at all let me know. There are alot of Zychal's out there.

Hi Craig, My great grandfather's name was Joseph Zychal and his wife's name was Catherine. My grandmother Mary was one of their daughters. Do you think that there might be a connection?
