I have some questions about the correct spelling of the maiden name of Frances Skowronski’s mother . This document states the name was Golas, but I had previously been told the name was spelled Golash . William F. Hoffman’s book Polish Surnames: Origins and Meanings, Second Edition, Revised lists two similar spellings:
Gołas and Gołaś
