I am pleased to announce the launch of the Niedzialkowski Surname Study.
The Niedzialkowski Surname Study is designed to study the relationships among those with the surname Niedzialkowski and its variants.
The study is comprised of two projects:

Steve,
I’ll be interested to read about how many participants you get for both the surname study and the DNA study. It’s rare that I find someone researching one of my surnames, so I’m jealous!

Looking for more information on Niedzialkowski family. My family comes from south east of Poland from before 1945. Land owners from District Tarnopol, Husiatyn, the name of the estate was Czudziec. How to go about finding anything else?

Adam Niedzialkowski.
My last name was shortened from Niedzialkowski by my father Edward Niedzialkowski. I know my family is from Poland, but that is about it. I would love to follow you and learn more about my family history. Thank you!!!
I found your comment interesting as my last name was also shortened from
Niedzialkowski to Nedgial by my father Michael Niedzialkowski. All I know is
that his family also is from Poland & his mother died when he was 9 years old.
There does seem to be alot of Niedzialkowskis with no further background info!
We lived in Winnipeg Manitoba. Where did your family reside?
