Re: Names in my family tree
I think it might well be Wawrzyniec - if I only spoke English, I'd probably assume it's pronounced WAWR-in-yets, and that's not far from Warren. 🕊️❣️🌻💌🌻❣️🕊️masculine list: https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/191050/124079

Polish is my first language and I wanted to say that the W in Polish is pronounced like the letter V in English. Therefore Warren doesn't sound close to Wawrzyniec to me.

Oops, I meant to write "if I only spoke English" in the above post. Polish is my first language as well.
