Re: Andrew Soltys, 10/1893, Tarnogrod,Poland

Dear Soraya: It would appear on the surface that there is no connection. His parents were Michael and Mary Soltys from the house of Bulicz. He did have two brothers, one of whom was named John, age unknown. Bukowina is a very poor village in Biszcza, now woj. Lubelskie formerly Zamosc. The name Soltys with the~thru the L is a moderately common name inPoland borne by 7,735 polish citizens as of 1990. There is no one specific part of the country where the name is concentrated altho it's more common in the south and southeast ( the region called Mal~opolska) than anywhere else. Lublin province which is where my father came from is in that region. God Bless your search. Andy
