(S)he asked for the last name and not the first name.& ... by the way... Bartko is NOT Polish. As a short form of Bartlomiej (bart-luhm-yay) it's Bartek.

I didnt say Bartko was a first name nor did the site if you looked it was in the surname box
Some surnames originate from first names
I also stated that I wasnt certain of the information but thank you for the correctionA childs smile is worth more to me than Gold
