Jaxa Malachowski coat of arms Gryf

together with connected families

The purpose of this website

I am collecting genealogical information about my ancestors, primarily Jaxa Malachowski (173) and Scibor Marchocki (61) whom I am closely related to. Other surnames that appear most frequently in my database are: Ingistof (53), Mrozowicki (36), Dwernicki (37) and Smukrowich (29). Numbers in parentheses indicate the number of names on 28th September 2012.

As far as I know this is the only place where data about my family is systematically collected and published. I know that some of my family members are in the possession of more information which has been collected over multiple generations, but unfortunately this information is not widely available.

sources:

‘In the beginning was the Word’ … In my case it was one handwritten document: ‘The Pedigree of the Sword of Jerzy Karol Jaxa-Małachowski’- my father. Soon after, I found my cousin Marylka Ścibor Marchocki, who has sent me a great number of pictures and information about my family. Enduring searches on the Internet have also brought results: among other things I have found pages published by the late Romuald Ireneusz Scibor- Marchocki (these pages are no longer available).

An important source of information has been Сергей Аргатюк, a historian from Odessa, Jerzy Mrozowicki Lukas and Kajetan Malachowski.
