You're Searching For A Name?

This page contains family tree details of my wife and myself. If you are searching for family, the name you are searching for may appear with slightly different spelling because the spelling was not definite for some of these people - and as many of these were Polish names, the female form of the surname often ended with a "a" sound (eg male Pilichowski, female Pilichowska). You'll probably go straight to the charts so I'll put what could have come first afterwards. These are not our complete trees so if you don't find someone you are looking for, they may be on our 'complete' trees at home and I welcome any feedback. Please, if none of these people are familiar, ask relatives to take a look.

Important Apology E-mails that have been sent to me in the past have been placed by the mail server into a �Bulk� folder as possible junk mail and then cleared out after 2 weeks. Unfortunately I only now (5th Nov, 2005) picked this up. If you have written in the past and not received a reply then
I have not seen your e-mail and apologize. I respond to all genuine e-mails. I have now changed my address (see below) and ask that you write again.

I will just add here that it is believed that all people with KLEPFISZ ancesty (or with derivatives of that name such as KLEPFISCH, KLAPFISH etc.) are related. There is an active Yahoo Group dedicated to this family. If you are a Klepfisz (by whatever spelling) and are interested in this group and being in contact with other members of the family, feel free to e-mail Sarah Lasry, at sarah_lasryXyahoo.ca (please change the X in this address to an @).

What Could Have Come First

This page has been produced in the hope of finding relatives - past or present. "Bare bones" family trees are shown for simplicity. We have a combined tree with many more connections and I welcome anyone that believes they know of a possible connection to e-mail (see details below). Again I ask, please, if none of these people are familiar, ask your relatives to have a look. (You may want to print off a copy of this page for them.)

I omitted my surname from the title because the spelling is misleading. My paternal grandfather's surname was HAKMAN but either at birth or when my father went into the Polish army, his name was spelt CHAKMAN and it stuck. In English this may seem strange but in Polish the family name was pronouced commencing with a guteral sound which could have been spelt either way. Add to that, under Russian influence the name may have even been spelled GAKMAN.

(CH/H/G) (A/E/I/O/U) (/C) KMAN (/N). If you can follow the options I have tried to show here, you will see there could be many spellings for essentially the same name (60 possibilities I'm guessing).

For those interested in seeing a picture of me naked on a lambskin - bad luck!
