Slavic(?) last name Gerotski in my family tree
Hi,
I thought this might be a good forum to ask about this, many slavs potentially with maybe good information.
I managed to find the parents to one of my ancestors named Schultz in Uppsala, Sweden. He was born 1736.
Anyways, his mother was called Anna Maria Gerotski. The surname is also written in forms Gerotsch, Gerotskii, Gerotzie, Gerokie in the sources.
1) Is this a Slavic surname?
2) Where could it be from?
Google doesn't really give any clue in terms of its origins. The Schultz's in Sweden were probably originally from Germany.
PS. I'm Finnish. The ancestor in question moved to Finland.
