I dont know if it is true not. But the story is told in my family, that a second grade school teacher changed and "Americanized" my grandfathers last name, because she could not pronounce the Original, problem is no one in the family knows what the original was.I know his parents spoke Polish and settled in Springfield Mass (heavy Polish population at the time).
Also know there is a Badrick family in England, but dont know if there is any connection there, or just an odd coincedence.
