As a Polish person, it is nice for me to see something like this.
But, as far as Polish Language go, his surname should be "Tetliński"becouse "Tetlińska: is a female version of this surname.

Glad you like it
Oh really? Huh, that's interesting. Records on people from other countries are kinda vague here, unfortunately. Which sucks especially when we're doing genealogy stuff and looking for ancestors. Tetlinska was the name we dug up for this ancestor out of the few records we found. Though, it wouldn't surprise me if the records were wrong.

I suppose those records were about woman. If you have some pictures of them, I can confirm this.

No pictures, unfortunately. The time period was too far back and this particular ancestor didn't have anything major about him. The records were definitely about a male, though. We found vague records of his wife and kids. Though again, some things likely got lost in translation.

Hm, maybe. "Tetlińska" just does not sound right. It's like calling male "Andrea" instead of "Andrew".

Actually, I think I might've figured out the problem. On my family tree, his child that led to me was a female. So, when the records got transferred to America, the people translating probably just assumed that surnames there work the same way they do here, and so they listed this ancestor with the same last name as his daughter.
