Does anyone out there know anything about my surname?  It's pretty
unusual in the U.S.  I've looked in several metropolitan phone books
and have never seen another Opalko.  Opalka, on the other hand, is
very common.  My paternal grandparents came here from Hungary around the
turn of the century.  I always thought Opalko was just another nice
Magyar name, until I asked a few people who were born in Hungary, and they
never heard of it, either!

Does anyone know of any lists of Hungarian, Yugoslavian, or German surnames?


	Thanks,
