1. Re: Feathers for the Nobility [1]
So how come nobody asked my Kaczyn family for feathers??? By the way, the siedzien? in the family supplied tar too!!! smile your on candid herbarz... edward...
2. Re: heraldic origins [1]
For those of us who like to try to find possible origins and affiliations of Polish arms, I'd recommend consulting Ottfried Neubecker and Wilhelm Rentzmann's Wappen Bilder Lexikon [Dictionary of Heraldic Charges], Munich, 1974. This reference, unfortunately, is compilation of civic, rather than personal, arms, but it is large and charges are arranged lucidly by category. A glance through this reference will demonstrate that even tamga-form heraldic charges can be found in use in numerous European locatio
3. Peacock Feathers [1]
Hello, Interesting enough the Odrowaz Coat of Arms also has three peacock feathers. Do you know if this has any association, or is it just that Peacock feathers were popular? Inquiring minds would like to know. :-) Margaret Odrowaz-Sypniewski, B.F.A., Clan Malcolm, PGSA, PGSM. The Sypniewski Family-Table of Contents Auch 2000's Scottish Pages In a message dated 8/5/0

> goodluck charms < Or, David, perhaps tamgas could be traffic signs. At the entrance to our parking lot we have painted on the pavement the Strzala charge and at the exit a variant of it. All over Europe the Kotwicz arms are posted at the entrances of streets to which entry is barred.
5. (More) Tartar surnames in Poland [1]
Greetings: Observing the discussion of Tatar, and possible Tatar names, I thought it not inappropriate to submit this inquiry: One of my great-great grandfathers was a Kudzbajski - I have been unable to concoct any reasonable Slavic etymon but there are names in various Turkic dialects which have a striking similiarity (e.g. , Modern Turkish Kudu:sbey [: = umlaut] meaning something like "Gentleman of Jerusalem", in some [can't find references] this is manifested "Ku:dsbey". I would appreciate any c
6. Re: The progenitor of the Zaremba Clan linked to King Harold III of England? [1]
I was able to locate a picture of the 1309 seal of Andreas Zaremba, bishop of Poznan, table XXXV, No. 357 in Gumowski's Handbuch der Polnischen Siegelkunde, 1966. Kulikowski really ought to be footnoting where these things can be found.

7. y-ij [1]
Can't remember who and what name it was, but there was a discussion here about a mysterious change of Y->IJ. This of course is a typical Dutch matter, there the pronunciation of Y and IJ are identical (a bit like 'i' in ice in English). So may be the person had Dutch contacts, someone misunderstanding the Polish "y" and miswriting it into 'ij', the modern Dutch way. Best regards Freiherr von Recum.
8. RE: The progenitor of the Zaremba Clan linked to King Harold III of England? [1]
> Panie Dawidzie is reserved for addressing lower-ranked.. < Although Mr. Minakowski has lived all of his life in the cultural center of Poland, and although I very highly value his insightful comments, (which are needed now more than ever), I must disagree on this point. It is true that it is considered impolite to address someone by his/her surname, as for example "Szanowny Panie Zienkiewiczu!" As one who finds it difficult to remember surnames, I find this to be a brilliant cultural achievement on the p

Maggie, >> Yes Peacocks do thrive in the same places as chickens and >> peasants....they are all related you know. Are you sure chickens and peacocks are related to peasants? Some of my relatives were peasants! ;) Did my other relatives that were of Lithuanian Nobility keep their chickens and peasants in the same place? ;) Ed -- --------------------------------------------------- Edward Justin Modestino, M.Phil.

10. RE: The progenitor of the Zaremba Clan linked to King Harold III of England? [1]
> I didn't say: it is impolite < I thought we were talking about the context of an Internet discussion list. Of course in a classroom, doctor's office, television interview, etc., it's polite to refer to someone by his/her professional title, unless the titled person requests otherwise. In fact, even on an Internet list, if someone requests to be called by his or her title, I would certainly oblige even if someone insisted on, for example, "Wasza Hrabiowska Mosc!" At the dinner table, and in informal se
11. RE: von Speidel [1]
Hello Leon, Thank you for your research. Klaus Liwowski located barons von Speidel in the German GOTHA and in Kneschkes Adels-Lexikon. It is interesting how a word meaning "carpenter's wedge" became a name of a baronial family?

12. Re: Declassed nobility [1]

And maybe this is why people tried to confirm their nobility by any means. There are plenty of false genealogies, where people were not able to correctly identify their, e.g. greatgrandparents. Apparently, people didn't care of their genealogy, they were just interested in proving their nobility. MJM

14. Re: Tartars in Lithuanian Nobility [1]
I have not measured the distances involved in miles, but if you include Lyda and Nowogrodek (both now in Belarus), Vilnius and Kaunas (Central and Northwest Lithuania), and Podlasie (conceded to Poland by Sigismund Augustus before the 1569 Union of Lublin), you've got a territorial expanse a good deal larger than the current Lithuanian state. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leon Stevens" To: Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 12:53 PM Subject: RE: Tartars

Meanwhile I have read Friderico Lucae, Schlesiens curieuse Denckwuerdigkeiten, Franckfurt 1689, V.4. p.1811, new published by Zedler. He writes: "The family Kottwitz owned in the Lower-Lusatia around Cottbuss the estates: Neuhausen, Brusinchen, Torbendorff, Klein-Dobbern. [...] Otto v. Kottwitz was marshal by count Friedrich in Meissen around 1229." The map "Tabula geographica sive mappa Silesiae" fro
16. Chernigov [1]
The town of Chernigov always was, and still is, in Ukraine. The nobles like Chernigov(ski) (Czernichowski, Tchenikhovsky) have not been recorded in the Byelowrussian gubernias of Grodno, Minsk, Mohylew, Witebsk and Smolensk at all. One Czerniechowski (Tchernekhovsky) family was positively revised as the nobles by the Heroldia in Podolyia on Apr. 24, 1841, as well as another one in Volhynia (Apr. 14, 1842). Another alike families were : one Czernikow family (Chernikov, Tchernikov) in the Gubernia of Kiev

Thank you for that a short lesson of courtesy and formal ways of addressing unknown people, Panie Miniak. I addressed Pan David a little less formal, which is highly permitted in Polish culture.

19. Re: ordinaries to tamga [1]
"Henryk and Jan Pvchner are said to have moved from Austria to Lusatia around 1281. There they built Castle Kotwicz which they lost as a result of their hostilities against the margrave of that land. They then moved to Silesia where they also called themselves Kotwicz. One of Jan's sons established himself in the district of Wschowo (Poznan). " This account treats Lusatia as different from Silesia. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marek Jerzy Minakowski" To:
20. Re: Tartars in Lithuanian Nobility [1]
Lithuania and Poland formed a political union in 1386, when the Lithuanian Grand Duke Jogailo married the twelve year old heir to the Polish throne, Jadwiga (actually called "King," not Queen, despite her sex). Lithuania and Poland defeated the Teutonic Order at the battle of Grunwald in 1410. Apparently in the aftermath of this great victory, in which Polish and Lithuanian knights fought side by side, a number of prominent Polish noblemen and officers of state adopted important Lithuanian noblemen and th

additional to these works : http://dworki.3k.pl/album.php I just came back from a voyage through Pommerania. In nearly each village I found a "dwsr", some completely restaurated (mostly bought by the new rich Warszawa generation), others in rather original condition, others in ruin state. I learned visually that 'dwsr' is a concept, and not a building. And that a dwsr can vary from dworek to castle. Some pictures will be added to our website, so that you can see them yourselves . I'll inform you in time
22. RE: ordinaries to tamga [1]
> treats Lusatia as different from Silesia < Lusatia IS different from Silesia. The Sorbs and the proto-Polish Slezanie were two adjacent Slavic tribes but with different histories and linguistic developments. The Sorbs were vanquished by the Germans and have remained subject to them for over a millennium and a half. For more information on Lusatia, type the word "Sorbian" in the Google search box.
23. RE: Tartars in Lithuanian Nobility [1]
> larger than the Lithuanian state < When I say "Lithuania" in a historical context, I mean the Grand Duchy. Today, someone in a single automobile could deliver a Tatar newspaper to local distribution centers throughout the entire Tatar territory in one day. When I was in college I worked for a small newspaper, and that's exactly how we distributed it over most of eastern Ohio, i.e. in one car in one day.
24. RE: profession & estate [1]
> What would they do in the city < The enormous growth of cities in the late 18th and 19th centuries was due directly to the massive influx of the rural populace into the cities. This is discussed in the article I sent you in regard to the rapid growth of the Jewish quarter in Warsaw. People practiced all manner of trades or engaged in menial labor in the hopes of learning trades. However cities were always populated to a great degree by refugees from the countryside. Homeless rural people didn't just m
