Jerzykowski family with Ostoja coat of arms

The Jerzykowski (Jurzykowscy, Irzykowski) family - Polish noble family with the coat of arms of Ostoja, belonging to the heraldic Clan Ostoja (Moscics). The Jerzykowski family took their surname from the village of Jurzykowo (now Jerzykowo near Pobiedziska), located in the former district of Gniezno in the province of Poznań. The Jerzykowski family was mentioned in the armorial of Bartosz Paprocki. The Baranowski of the Ostoja coat of arms come from the Jerzykowski family.

The oldest source certificates concerning the family
Listed below are selected source certificates concerning the Jerzykowski family of the Ostoja CoA and the nest village of Jerzykowo, until the mid-15th century.

From the newly acquired goods, Mikołaj began to write from Jerzyków.
