Doing idle research on the surname Krakowski -- my great-great-grandmother's maiden name. Not for genealogical purposes per se but just for fun.

Favorite "relatives" from circa 1820-1960:

Gottlib Krakowski
Chaja Krakowski
Faustyn Krakowski
Ant Krakowski
Inft Krakowski
Moria Rose Krakowski
Rachla Hendla Krakowska a.k.a. Regina Helen Krakowski
Max Kraft (formerly Max Krakowski)
Isidor Adler (formerly Isaac Krakowski)
Perla Semel (formerly Grinbalt Krakowski)

Weirdly enough (or maybe not, since Michigan's Polish population is the third largest by state in the country -- I bet you can guess the top two) there are a bunch of Krakowskis in Michigan.
