Dear Carolyn,
Some this info could be for you like a sensational search paths, Polish etymological and historical works are giving the following suppositions:
His first name Jordan might be of the old Polish noble roots.
His second name seems is not Sutkiewicz (there are not Polish any names going from Polish "Sutek" - a nipple, this it might be look as an obscure), but Sulkiewicz or Sul~kiewicz (Polish grammar L slashed), and this surname is noted in Polish history, just see and read this first weblink as an example with Sulkiewicz:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksander_Sulkiewiczhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksander_Sulkiewicz
This all names Sulkiewicz/Sul~kiewicz are going from the Polish language, and and old name Sul~ - this derives from the first name Sulislaw, Sulimir, the Sul~ is very old and noted in Poland from the year 1136.
But be careful, the family name may be also as:
Satkiewicz - 7 immigrants with open EI database/ship manifests
Setkiewicz - 2 as above
Sotkiewicz - 1 as above
Sitkiewicz - 10 as above
This is all I can tell you about Sulkiewicz/Sul~kiewicz etc., try to find his American petition for naturalizaton, where every immigrant was obliged to tell her/his right family names, and the place of birth in the old country, so, we can help you more.
Good luck, Tad
