So I went to Polish Fest this weekend, one of the many ethnic festivals that goes on every summer in Milwaukee. In a very helpful book in the genealogy tent, I found out that contrary to my father's favorite story, our last name does not mean "by the side of the road." Our original last name, Przepierski, actually means "quail." Pretty cool tidbit. Of course, the polka dancing was pretty spiffy too.
