Gen Dobry!, Vol. XXII, No. 5, May 2021 — 1 ************************************** *** COATS OF ARMS AND CONTROVERSY *** by Fred Hoffman< [email protected]>
As I acquire more experience, I’m continually reminded of a bit of truth: if I hated something in the past, rest assured, it will come around again. It doesn’t seem to be true of stuff I really liked; once over, good stuff is gone forever. But if, for example, there’s a commercial I really, really despise, and one day I think, “Oh, good, I haven’t seen that for a while, they must have taken it off the air” – rest assured, it will be playing on my TV any moment.
It hadn’t occurred to me until recently that companies selling fake coats of arms had pretty much disappeared. Back in the 1980s, when I first got interested in genealogy, I noticed ads for these companies in many of the publications I looked at. It got worse once we all started getting online in the 90s, as these companies realized they had a new forum in which to push their wares. That was about the time I started getting notes from people asking, “Can you tell me about my family’s coat of arms?” (Short answer: “No.” Long answer: “Hell, no.”)
I remember being amused when I got emails offering to sell me all sorts of merchandise emblazoned with my noble Hoffman coat of arms. By then, I knew my family was about as noble as your average warthog. It became clear to me – and to most folks, I think – that at most, all these companies did was to look to see if anyone, anywhere bearing a specific name had ever appeared in some heraldic context. If they didn’t simply make something up and actually checked records, they made no attempt whatsoever to be sure your ancestors were noble and entitled to bear a coat of arms. If your name was Nowak and a Nowak or Novak had ever been mentioned anywhere in an armorial, congratulations, Sir Nowak! You can read a little more about these so-called “bucket shops” here:
This whole thing irritated me because I often assisted a gentleman with translations: the late Leonard J. Suligowski, a self-made expert on Polish nobility and heraldry. Leonard really cared about this field; he insisted there were rules to this game and people should observe them. He told me “coat of arms” was not a very good translation of Polish herb, because Polish nobility differed from western European nobility in many significant ways. He felt “clan shield” was more accurate, better reflecting the actual nature of Polishherby and avoiding the confusion that came from calling them “coats of arms.” I remember Leonard also despised the term “family crest,” insisting a crest was only one part of a coat of arms and it was inaccurate to use the part for the whole in this context.
Sadly, Leonard passed on 19 June 2008. The organization for which he served as the director of Heraldry and the College of Heraldry, the Polish Nobility Association Foundation of Baltimore, MD, carries on, with its website at
Gen Dobry!, Vol. XXII, No. 5, May 2021 — 2 As time passed, I saw more and more people calling those heraldry companies out for the fakes they were. The bucket shops kind of dropped out of sight, and I never realized how much I didn’t miss them. I figured they were still around somewhere, but they weren’t always in my face, and that was enough for me.
Then, last month, I was asked to include a notice for the June 19 meeting of the Polish American Foundation of Connecticut, which will feature Tadeusz Piłat speaking on “The Story behind the Family Crest.” I’ve heard a lot of good things about Tadeusz (I think his friends call him Teddy). I was glad to see he will be giving good info to those interested in the field. I don’t fault him for using the term “family crest”; it’s a common term, and I doubt Tadeusz ever had a chance to talk to Leonard about it.
I also noticed an email sent out earlier this month by Aleksandra Kacprzak, like Tadeusz, a native Pole who works in the field of genealogy.
I’m very pleased to inform that there is a new shelf in my genealogy store: Coat of Arms and genealogy tree made by artist Tadeusz Piłat. Works are made by individual special order. You can also order a design of an individual “family sign”:
For those that speak only English we have books that may be of your interest:
For those that like genealogy gadgets we have a special shelf: “Handmade” – the wooden candle holders are just beautiful and coffee with tree designed coasters just taste better!
Every Genealogy Lady will surely find something desirable on the shelf with silver jewelry!
You are invited to explore, admire, and, of course, buy our exceptional genealogy items.
Aleksandra
One thing made me a tiny bit uneasy: the website says Tadeusz will design a coat of arms for your family, adding, “You do not have to be nobility to have your own family crest. Simply ask for our offer and we compose a professional coat of arms.” I like that they’re saying up front that the herby Tadeusz creates are not authentic (unless your family did bear arms and you have Tadeusz paint the arms they were entitled to bear). This is not like a bucket shop; no one is attempting to fool you into believing a falsehood. I felt it was legitimate to quote the email here – stressing, as always, “Let the buyer beware.”
Gen Dobry!, Vol. XXII, No. 5, May 2021 — 3 Still, it bothered me a little bit, if only because I liked and respected Leonard J. Suligowski, and I have a notion he would have objected to this. The szlachta were enormously important in the history of Poland. They generally did not tolerate people who faked noble status (unless, of course, the parvenu was wealthy and could buy his way into legitimacy – and even then, a lot of the lords protested mightily). The question arises, just how much are we entitled to play fast and loose with the rules of a status that used to be so important to our ancestors?
I noticed researcher Debbie Greenlee also was not quite sure how to take this. She posted a statement to several mailing lists, explaining that “making up a coat of arms is very misleading.” She later clarified that statement:
... What the genoroots.com folks are doing is offering a design service to create Polishherbs for people who would like to have one. Moreover, all heraldry systems have customary “rules” of heraldry and it is my understanding that this service understands the Polish rules and will create herbs which comply with them. Buying such an herb is much like buying an original painting of a Polish folk character which conforms with all the legends about that character. In both cases, it’s a unique, custom piece of art with accurate cultural attributes, but it’s just a piece of art.
What needs to be understood is that the herbs created in this way are in no way _official_. They’ve not been granted by any government or government-related agency nor do they imply that the owner of the herb has any particular social status and, in particular, _certainly_ do not imply nobility. Contrast this with, for example, the system in Britain where many people can in fact get a coat of arms, but must demonstrate that they are somehow significant and the arms are only official if approved by a (semi-)governmental agency, the College of Arms....
This is important: The folks at genoroots.com are people who I know, trust, have worked with, and indeed have recommended on numerous occasions to do genealogy work and would not hesitate to recommend in the future. Nothing I have said was intended to be a slight on their character or intent. Nothing in their herb offer is, in itself, misleading nor do I believe it was intended to be misleading.
I think Debbie said it pretty well. There is potential for this service to prove misleading. Done the right way, however, it can be an opportunity to inform people about Polish culture and history. I certainly don’t have a problem with people commissioning a piece of art – as long as no one pretends it means more than it does.
That’s the big difference between bucket shops and this offer. No one’s trying to deceive anyone!

*** HEMINGWAY AND THE POLES *** by Jan M. Lorys
Embarking to Europe for a tour of duty as a volunteer Red Cross ambulance driver, Ernest Hemingway travelled on the French Line’s SS Chicago. Writing to his parents, Hemingway noted its departure date as Thursday, May 23, 1918, and described it as “the rottenest ship in the world.” He was in good company, however. In addition to the American volunteers for the Red Cross, YMCA workers, the Knights of Columbus, and other relief agencies, there was a Polish Army contingent, made up of Poles recruited in the US, trained in Canada, and joining a French sponsored force called the Polish Army in France. This was the last voyage for the SS Chicago as a Polish Army transport. Hemingway wrote to his parents, “We are also paling [sic] with two Polish Lieutenants, Count Galinski and Count Horcinanowitz, altho [sic] [i]t is not spelled that way. And they are dandy, and being with them has taught us that there is a big difference between polacks and Poles.”
The two Poles encountered on the voyage were included in a prologue to Hemingway’s abandoned novel on his World War I experiences entitled, Along with Youth. The pencil manuscript dated June 15, 1927, was reworked and published posthumously in 1972 as “The Night Before Landing,” in The Nick Adams Stories, an anthology of stories and sketches.
Historically, the PMA [Polish Museum of America] is interested in learning more about the two counts. Their claims to nobility are not exaggerated. The Chocianowicz family is of the herb (clan) Oksza and the Galinski family is of the herb (clan) Rawicz, however, any claim to title was lost in the United States. Fortunately, their Polish Army in France enlistment records are included in the PMA Archives collections, which feature records for about 85% of the 38,000 Poles in America who enlisted. Ideally, perhaps in a private collection, photographs exist of the counts which could be shared with the PMA.
Antoni Galinski a carpenter from Kansas, was age 47 upon enlisting. Generally older for a Lieutenant, he previously spent three years in service in the Austro-Hungarian Army’s cavalry. He was an early volunteer, enlisting in Center No. 18, Kansas City, KS, on December 21, 1917. Leon Chocianowicz, a mechanic from Wilmington, DE, was 24, the right age for a junior officer. Though he had no previous military service, he had participated in the Polish Falcon training program. Hemingway described him as being tall; Form C of his enlistment papers confirms this, as it marks his height at 5 foot, 11.5 inches. He enlisted in Center No. 31, Wilmington, DE, on November 17, 1917.
Both were at Camp Kosciuszko in Niagara-on-the-the Lake, Ontario. Upon completion of basic training and then taking an abbreviated Officer Training Course, they became cadre for the next basic trainee classes, shipping out for France after a few training cycles.
Gen Dobry!, Vol. XXII, No. 5, May 2021 — 5 The notes to Hemingway’s letter, which is included in The Letters of Ernest Hemingway: Volume 1, 1907-1922 (Cambridge University Press, 2011), unfortunately do not offer additional details. Hemingway may have been aware of the ongoing recruitment in Chicagoland Polish communities, so the mention of Poles and Polish officers would not have been unusual. However, sixty years later, that historical fact has pretty much vanished in America’s consciousness. As the commentators to the notes likely were of a literary and not historical background, the idea of Polish Army men going to Europe from America did not pique their curiosity. It is also interesting to note, that although Poles, Hemingway was able to converse with them in English. This is most likely due to many of them having arrived in the United States as teenagers and were taught in English, or learned the language to function better in the larger community.
In order to better understand the full context of Hemingway’s travel to Europe and to know the Polish counts, the PMA welcomes any details, and especially photographs, of Antoni Galinski and Leon Chocianowicz. Please send all information to
*************************************** *** FROM POLISH ORIGINS: PROPERTY INVENTORIES *** by Zenon Znamirowski
Editor – I always like to pass along the latest info from PolishOrigins, and I’m delighted to see this latest series of blog entries by Piotr Zelny, dealing with property inventories. For a long time, I’ve felt people concentrate so much on parish sacramental registers that they overlook the enormous amount of info that property records can tell them. Granted, parish registers are generally easier to find and use. But property inventories can justify the extra effort involved in accessing them. Piotr’s first entry makes me think this will be an excellent series. Here’s what the head of PolishOrigins, Zenon Znamirowski, had to say about it.
No, feudalism is not the current political system in Poland. We had lived through socialism for about 40 years till 1989 and that was clear because it was hammered into our heads constantly. I am not quite sure what one would call the political and economic system we are living in now, but I am sure we didn’t return to feudalism, at least in its 18th-century form :-).
How do I know that? Because I carefully read the newest article about property inventories created during the feudal system in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (before partitions) written by our historian, genealogist, guide, and worker of the Historical Museum in Sanok Piotr Zelny.
The five-part article describes in detail how property inventories may not only be useful in reaching into the past beyond the times when the vital records were created but also can give a background, colors, the reality of the life of your peasant ancestors. Gen Dobry!, Vol. XXII, No. 5, May 2021 — 6 In our many years of experience in conducting thousands of research and tour projects, we had a few people with noble origins, even from magnate families who, if we returned to monarchy here, would be heirs to the throne. But in a great majority we are descendants of poor peasants. That’s the fact we cannot deny, whether we like it or not :-). From a genealogy research point of view, it means a serious limitation in the amount and the quality of genealogy sources available, especially if you want to go back beyond the 19th century.
However, it is not impossible to learn about your peasant ancestors and their life even two centuries backward till the 1600s. How? One of the possibilities is through property inventories. This is what Piotr writes about in his article: Property Inventories.
On another note, when you click to read the article you may notice that our website changed. Yes, we decided to change its look, its frontend. But we mostly worked on updating its non- visible, backend part. (We haven’t changed anything in the Forum yet).
We hope you will enjoy the look and quality of the functioning of the new website. We are still working on some details but if you have any comments about it please share.
Best wishes from spring Poland, Zenon and the Team

PGSCTNE MEMBERS HELPING MEMBERS Polish Genealogy: Online Databases” Presented by: Kinga Urbańska
Kinga Urbańska is a genealogist, historian, archivist and the founder and co-owner of Your Roots in Poland – the largest genealogical company in Poland. She received a master’s degree in history, archival, and historical sources at Pedagogical University of Kraków. She also manages projects to save local historical sites.
Kinga is interested in the Polish history of the 19th century and emigration. Her favorite research region is Galicia. She focuses on non-metrical family history sources, such as military records, personal files (career and education), newspapers, obituaries, cemeteries, nobility, censuses and court records. Her company also sponsors Polish Roots Tours so individuals can discover their Polish ancestor’s places of origins.
She assisted with uncovering Polish roots in the TV show, Finding Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr, where she had a chance to work on the family research for (among others) Dustin Gen Dobry!, Vol. XXII, No. 5, May 2021 — 18 Hoffman, Juliana Margulies, Tea Leoni, Gloria Steinem, and Bernie Sanders. Genealogy is her job and passion.
