Note the subject line is plural, but I only discuss one.
I figured you'd chime in. Maybe I should have titled it
"Big Pleasant Men Who Talk English I Have Encountered?"

I presume Jerzy Pieniazek was in Warsaw because that's
where he had to be to work for the Polish central Government,
not because that's where he was from. And as far as being
a common name, well, consider how many children Polish
families usually have...? ;)

Whoa! It's got to be something in the water, wherever that
name comes from. I can't see any connection with its etymology
("small coin") that would explain webby predilections among
the gene pool.
But Norman doesn't have this fellow I found, as he's "clan
Odrowaz"--old nobles--and the tree site is Gorzno/Garowlin.
Nevertheless I may fire off an email to relate the find.

Google returned your site *first*, so that's what counts. [1]

[1] Counting in sense of importance, not quantity. Boy, that
made using the term useless, didn't it?
