ArchivesRe: Names in my family tree
in reply to a message by sprout
Oh, I'm very intrigued by Barry! Because it's not like Bartholomew doesn't exist in English. Maybe it was the less familiar looking Bartosz? But then, even for Bartosz the obvious anglicisation is still Bartholomew, maybe Bart, Barry is really out there. Which kind of makes me think it could've been a name without an obvious English counterpart, like Bronisław or Bogdan or something along those lines.
I can see how someone might use Warren for Wojciech. There's the "War" and the "Woj", I can see that happening. But then again, going off of Barry, it could probably be Włodzimierz or Wacław or Wawrzyniec, really not much to go on there.
