Help[Surname] The Polish surnames Pelzek and Molinska / Morinska.
Hello everyone,
Recently I found two new ancestors of mine, both of whom were from a part of Poland that once belonged to Prussia (Germany). They were from Bromberg, to be exact: the city is called Bydgoszcz nowadays.
I was wondering if perhaps someone could explain to me the meanings of their surnames? The surname Pelzek is sometimes spelled as Pelczek, Pelczak, Pilczak, Pilsack and Pilsak. I'm unsure about Molinska or Morinska, as I have seen both spellings only once.
I would be very grateful if you could help me. Thank you very much in advance! :)
With kind regards,
Jörmungandr
