scully7417: any information on the surname Koczan

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about the name Koczan. I know that when my father came to the US it used to have an accent. But my family here in the US has lost contact with my family in Hungary so I cant ask them about our history. If you have any info at all it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

scully

You need to locate a name of a town in order to proceed with the research.
Hungary's phone site is at :
www.matav.hu/english/index.html
Take a look in Ellis Island website. Maybe you just might find an ancestor or two passing thru there to America.
Hungary was a large empire.
Here is a map:

If your father had social security numbers or was naturalized citizen than those forms would have useful information for your research.

RobK: Re: any information on the surname Koczan

Mirek,

My family name is Koczan, as far as I know my father was Polish but was born in 1920 in what is now Lithuania, it was Poland before the 2nd world war. I'm not sure of the name of the town in which he was born, I'll check.
I know the name is very rare in Poland, I have cousins in Poland who have never met any other Poles with the same name.

RobK: Re: any information on the surname Koczan

Hi Mirek,

Well you never know if we are related or not. I think my father came from near Wilejka which is south of Wilno and seems to be in modern Belarus near the border with Lithuania.
I tried to find Vandziogala on a map but could n't, where is it in relation to Wilno?
I was born and live in England.

Dear Charles!

"gyer" is equal "Gy�r". This is the one of the larges city of Western part of Hungary.
In Hungary we are used a comma above "o" (�)and above "a" (�). I think it is an original K�cz�n name.

My Family (grandfather) based on Hegyk�. He has two boys. One of the boy came to Washington states (Spokane). He has been living from 1956 year. He has a 3 children. My father is living in Hungary.
I'am sure the K�cz�n family is from one family tree, but not this line. Maybe from the last century.

My grandfather's mother was also named Erzs�bet K�cz�n, but she was born on 14.01.1883 instead of 04.04.1887 in Talapatka. She had a sister named M�ria K�cz�n who was born on 13.12.1887 instead of 26.03.1885 in Talapatka. There must be a relationship between your relatives and mine.

jan01: koczan family

Hello all Koczan`s.
I am searching for information and whereabouts of my Siedlecki/Koczan families that are somewhere in Poland.
My grandfather married Anna Koczan I think in Brest,Poland,now Belarus.They had my father Jan Siedlecki and his brother Jozef.
They also had a daughter I think her name was Janka but I am unsure,she I believe died in the nazi`s death camps.
Prior to the war they lived in Siemiatycze,Biala Podlaska.
Any information on Koczan`s or Siedlecki familie`s would be greatfully received.
Kind regards.

carol: Re: any information on the surname Koczan

Hi,
I've read your request concerning the name "Koczan". This is my surname too and I learned from somebody in an internet platform that Koczan originally was a polish name. It is the name of a certain weapon of knights during the middleages. I have Hungarian roots too but I learned that I must have had also polish roots. "Koczan" is no Hungarian name, as I've got informed by Hungarian friends. For 3 generations my family has lived in Austria. Hope I could help you!
