Research for persona
Jun. 1st, 2009 01:21 pm(the cheater method.)
Looking back in the extensive history of my family (Thanks OCD Dr. Cousin Guy!,) there are a few names that are heavily favored - Jozef and Adam, most notably. (Going back to 1764 and 1737, respectively, and evidenced in both my father and brother's names.)
For women, there are some rather nifty ones -
Jadwiga (naturally) (1770), Zofia (1805), Katarzyna (1744), Rozalia (1802), Maryanna (1765?), and Apolonia (1866).
While these are from outside period, I'd image I could trot them back a bit and find evidence of the same/similar earlier on.
I'm rather fond of Katarzyna, though I'd really have to fight becoming 'zyna.
Now, I should go get some real work done.
