What surprises many people are searches that produce long lists of entries for surnames they thought were unusual. It’s often a very good lesson because we really don’t know how widespread our surnames might have been in Poland and we’re surprised at the number of possible spellings or sound-alikes turned up by the Daitch-Mokotoff soundex.
In the past, the next step was usually to refine your search by limiting it to a single Gubernia or Province.
