La cosa più curiosa, mi pare, è che l’omonimo facesse parete del Polish American Club.
Esiste un ramo galiziano, che tu sappia, un Witold Garufowicz, un Bruno Garulz?

anche a me ha incuriosito, ma dalla galizia potrebbe uscire qualcosa da parte di madre (spagnola), non di padre. boh

Intendevo la regione storica della Galizia, divisa tra le attuali Ucraina e, appunto, Polonia. Si faccia una ricerca genealogica, orsù, mica possiamo rimanere con questo dubbio.
