David:
I do not believe that there would be a direct United States connection. My paternal
grandmother's name was Catherine Zajac in Spytkowice, Poland. I spent some time in at
the Catholic church office in Spytkowice during September 2000 and found her baptismal
certificate, but did not have time to try to identify any of her sisters and brothers or
other relatives. There might be an indirect connection somewhere.
So I am unaware of any Zajac relatives who came to America.
Zajac (means rabbit or hare) is a very popular name in Poland with over 48, 000 households
in Poland claiming that surname according to a 1990 Polish National Directory.
If you are interested, I have a website with my family tree on it and you can see for
yourself where the Zajac name fits in with me.
It is

David, Good luck in your genealogy searching.
