ArchivesRe: About Klebba...
in reply to a message by Jim Young
Wow, you're amazing! It took me months to glean that much information from my family. My dad and my uncle have told me before that we may have Kaszub roots, but I didn't/don't know what to make of it. Thanks for all the work you did, though. It's been a pain in the rear trying to find out this meaning for sure. I guess the quest goes on. :)

It is ten years ago you wrote about Klebba...
My grandma was born as a Klebba too. She came from a little Kaschubian town and later lived in Zoppot/near Danzig - today Gdansk in Polen.
In Danzig lived 85% German People before the second world war.
Later 1945 my Grandma had to leave Zoppot which became polish and escaped with my Mother to Germany ...
sorry my english is not good....
Kind regards

Still trying to find the meaning I came across a website that gave Klebba as the Mazurian dialect for bread. So your dad may be right. Mazuria is to the East of Pomorze, or Pomerania, where the Kashubs hung out. Mazurian is classed as a Polish dialect, Kashubian as a language closely related to Polish. Who knows? Maybe Klebba is also Kashubian for bread.
