Answer 1

We may be able to find the name through ancestry by looking up someone else in the family.

But I would guess it starts with Ja..and ends mitz...maybe

Answer 2

Yahemiec? Doesn't sound very polish.Polish last names typically end in "ski"

Answer 3

Lots of possibilities. Spelling was never really that standardized in Poland. The roots would be in the area of Jaczimiec or Jacziemiecz. If you want a good soundex, the Poznan Marriage Project is a great place to start. http://bindweed.man.poznan.pl/posen/sear...
