Polish surname origins?

I have a cousin in Peru and a half and I'm quite curious about his name because his Spanish is not the usual (eg gomez / cross / gonzalez / Espinoza) Your father is not very familiar with his name is. Does anyone have any useful information about the European immigration to Peru (not Italian) is a Polish name in Eastern Europe? It is common to Jews, maybe?

I think it's very possible that there was a Jewish connection. Some people wanted to emigrate to the United States, but could not because of the quota system. This is how many Jews ended up in South America. In fact, I just I have learned that one branch of my family there. Could not find anyone with this name in Peru, but there are many who are investigating ways of this name w / family in Argentina and it is possible that once the family arrived in Argentina who moved to Peru. If you go to http://www.jewishgen.org and seek their "Family Finder" you will find thousands of people seeking a variety of spellings of this name. I am including here are just some versions. You can see in Europe, where the families of these people lived, but Ukraine, Germany and Poland are high on the list. POLLACK Polack Polack POLAK POLLAK POLLOCK Paluch etc. Here are some references to Jewish immigration from Siemiatycze, Poland to Peru: http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/siemiatycze/Sie025.html http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/siemiatycze/Sie027. html. I included them, therefore, you can find more information on this type of immigration, but I'm not saying that this particular location is related at all to the family of his cousin. As JewishGen, is the largest online Jewish genealogy website. You 'may' need to subscribe to the search for his family Finder but it's free. Once there, you can send any person who appears to be a possible link and maybe you may be able to solve the mystery of the family. Good luck …
