My maiden name was Ciminski, but the original spelling was Cieminski. My grandfather changed our last name because of a falling out with his family. Would love to be able to connect with that family to learn more about myself.

Many members of Ciemiński (Chamier-Ciemiński) family live in the subregion of Gòchë, where I come from. As the name itself indicates, the place of their origin is the village of Ciemno.

A distant relative in Poland of mine last name is Von Chamier Cieminski. Does that last name indicate nobility? @@dawidmartin2167

I know that it's an old video, but I need to correct you about Kashubians never having a state/kingdom. Dukes of Pomerania would title themselfs as "dux Slavorum et Cassubie" meaning "Duke of Slavs(as in people) and Cassubia(as in land)". The area of Cassubia and Pomerania were 1 entity during 10/11/12 etc. centuries inhabited by Pomeranian tribes which, could include Cassubians, or maybe they even meant the same thing. The wrong assumption of Pomerania and Cassubia being different only started after Germans colonized and assymilated or replaced local Cassubian population, thats why I write this in Pomeranian voivodship not Cassubian and voivodship west to it is called WEST pomerania and not just pomerania. Also it is in Kashubian anthem "Zemia Rodnô" that states "My fatherland, beatiful land of Cassubians, Stretching from Gdańsk to Rostock gates". People that lived there were asimilated into Germany and the HRE, after so many centuries and we're the last survivng bunch of Pomeranians. Some cool kings/dukes of Cassubia include Swiãtopôłk II Wiôldżi , Sambór I and Erik Pòmòrsczi. Unfortunatelly they also became germanized not unlike what happened to Lithuanian nobility when they started hanging out with Poles. Writing to you from Puck, Capital of Norda

Something is wrong with the sound. Can't hear it.

Some of the research I have done stated that Kashubians were pagans, and that the polish turned them Catholic.

Maybe his mother's maiden name was Kashubian. Who knows! Somewhere through the lines of marriage his last name ended up Hughes....
