My son wishes to investigate his surname which is Ukrainian. Sometimes it is spelt Tarnawski... Can you help or offer suggestions for further contact.
Thankyou

Its a variation on Tarnowski, which means "from Tarnow" (a place in Poland)

I sincerely apologize in advance for the extremely poor taste of the following anagram:
Tarnawski = A skin wart

But seriously, you might have better luck at http://surnames.behindthename.com/surboard.html :)
