Tomek, he obviously meant "Kaftański". When You leave the diacritics out it
becomes "Kaftanski", and the family name will be Kaftanskis.
And it definitely looks like a Polish name.

You are right. Original spelling is with a diacritical. We dont
have that spelling in Spanish, so it got removed.

Small world. One set of my great-great-grandparents emigrated from, we
think, Posen sometime between 1855 and 1872.
