What does the Zychowski name mean? On Acestry.com page http://www.ancestry.com/search/SurnamePage.aspx?html=b&l...
We read : Polish: habitation name for someone from Zychy in Kielce voivodeship, named with the personal name Zych.

Probably that is true, but most of people which looking their roods on this page are not Zychowski with normal Z in the beginning, but Zychowski with special polish Z with dot above Z which we in Poland spell different.
This special Z with dot above we call in Poland „ Z with dot”

Why I think, that most people which looking roods from US and Canada are Zychowski with Z with dot.

Because in 1998 in Poland it was 763 persons name Zychowski with Z with dot. Biggest population in Poland is near Krosno (Jaslo, Cieklin) – 136 and near Krakow 118. For example in Warsaw where I live there is only 26 person and near Ciechanow which is important to the oldest information about Zychowski with Z with dot live only 20 people.
In history of Poland we can find information that biggest emigration from Poland to US about 1900 was from very poor territory near mountains – it means Krosno and Krakow.
All that You can find using page http://www.herby.com.pl/herby/indexslo.html and using Polish Programmer Keyboard pressing Z with ALT to be Z with dot.

In the same page when You looking information about Zychowski with normal Z You can find that in 1998 in Poland lived 136 persons name Zychowski and most of then – 29 near Radom. Rodom is near Kielce and near Zych, so if Your roods are from Radom or Kielce You are Zychowski with normal Z.

What does Zychowski wth Z with dot name mean?
The oldest information about Zychowski with Z with dot are about family Zychowski with Z with dot used coat of arms TEPA PODKOWA, lived in Zychowo Biskupie with Z with dot, Parish Raciaz near Ciechanow.

Today population near Ciechanow is only 20 people, near Krosno 136. Why Zychowski with Z with dot moved near Krosno I don’t know.

TEPA PODKOWA means BLUNT HORSESHOE which coat of arms You can see on Page http://genealog.home.pl/g.pl?kd=4&hb=0182

I send this info about Zychowski with Z with Dot (14 sept. 2005) to Ancestry.com and I hope that they will change Family Facts. But there is something else -
in this FAMILY FACTS http://www.ancestry.com/learn/facts/fact.aspx?ln=Zychowski&a...
in Pace of origin http://www.ancestry.com/learn/facts/fact.aspx?&fid=5&...
we read that Top Place of Origin for Zychowski was Germany.

There is not true. Most Zychowski lived near Krakow and Krosno. From the date of first emigration 1881 to 1918 Poland was under occupation of Germany, Russia and Austro – Hungarian Empire.
Krakow and Krosno area it was Galicia – from 1795 to 1918 Austro – Hungarian Empire and from 1918 to 1939 POLAND, from 1939 to 1944 Germany during II World War and from 1944 again POLAND (in Soviet Block occupied by USSR till 1989).

Zychowski – this is typical Polish name and Zychowski roods are typical Polish so it is better to use as a Top Place of Origin – Poland (from 1795 to 1918 occupied by Austro – Hungarian Empire, Germany and Russia).

This facts are correct for Zychowski with normal Z and for Zychowski with Z with Dot.
