www.herby.com.pl/herby/indexslo.html has 164 NETZEL entries concentrated 
in the former Gdansk (50), Warsaw (31) and Lodz (30) wojewodztwa,
and 558 NECEL, strongly concentrated in the former Gdansk (411) woj. (no 
NETZALK),
but 2122 NIEDZIAŁEK concentrated in the former Lublin (331), Tarnobrzeg 
(315) and Siedlce (279) woj.
According to www.Ellisisland.org , at least 22 of the NIEDZIAŁEK tribe 
emigrated to the USA, some of them from 'Karnew' [maybe Korniv, 
Ivano-Frankivsk] and 'Biala', Russia, the rest from Galicia, Austria. In 
Germany I found just several NEDZOLLEK but no NIEDZIALEK.

The Kashubian 'niedzela' and the Polish 'niedzieła' stand for 'sunday'. 
So apparently each first Niedzieła, Necel, Necelman or Niedziałek 
[NETZALK] was a sunday child. But likewise apparently there is no 
stringent linkage between the Kashubian NETZEL / NECEL families and the 
NIEDZIAŁEK families from southeastern Poland.
