I was wondering if you find me something definitive on the name Grabowski. In Polish this name is generally pronounced grah-BOFF-skee, or in everyday speech it would often sound like grah-BOSS-kee -- which is why one may sometimes see it spelled Graboski. But Grabowski is the standard form (with Grabowska used when referring to females). It is a very common surname among Poles.
