Talk:Korwin coat of arms

New surnames in the list
In a recent up date, Ryszard Jurzak's... added the surname Szymanowski to the list of the families entitled to use the Crest Korwin. So there are Szymanowski and Korwin-Szymanowski in the Crest Ślepowron as well as in the Crest Korwin.

In the Korwin (herb szlachecki) three surnames were anonymuosly added to the families entitled to use the crest Korwin: Łopuszański, by (83.144.72.148) in 1 listopad/November 2006. Olszewski, by (83.11.41.180) in 2 listopad/November 2006 Lipowicz, by (83.16.237.34) in 21 listopad/November 2006 They are not in Mr. Ryszard Jurzak's site. Nevertheless as there are many possible sources I include them in the Families list of the Korwin coat of arms also and I will check better in time. --Gustavo Szwedowski de Korwin 03:23, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I already check the surname Lipowicz in Ornatowski’s Strona główna > Rodziny > Lipowicz  (Walenty Lipowicz h Korwin (1802 - ?), Karol Lipowicz h Korwin (? -?), Andrzej Franciszek Lipowicz h Korwin (1872 -1945)...)
 * I already check the surname Olszewski in Ornatowski’s > Tadeusz Gajl, Herby szlacheckie Rzeczypospolitej... (Olszewski h. Bogorya, Bończa, Brochwicz, Brodzic, Dołęga, Korwin, Kościesza, Lis, Lubicz, Nieczuja, Orla, Pobóg, Pomian, Prawdzic, Prus I, II, Rawicz, Ślepowron, Tępa Podkowa, Trzaska, Własne.)--Gustavo Szwedowski de Korwin 07:13, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * In Nieznana szlachta... – Wiktor Wittyg there are five surnames more: Chrzanowski, Chyczewski, Kłosiński, Raab, and Serdyński.
 * Note, Raab h. Rab is considered as a variation of Kos coat-of-arms by R. Jurzak, not a "Korwin family"

 * Surname Łopuszański (already added have no source available).Gustavo Szwedowski de Korwin 07:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Surname Nowicki was added anonymuosly in Korwin (herb szlachecki) by (193.51.16.187) in 11 luty/February 2008. There is not an an available source on the net so I will not include it in Korwin coat of arms list of families.
 * I did check again and again Nowicki and Łopuszański and could not get an available source, so I will delete Łopuszański and I will not add Nowicki to the list. I am sorry! --Gustavo (talk) 05:13, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * By mistake I deleted Lipowicz also. I am very sorry. I am going to re add it right now. I apologize!--Gustavo (talk) 01:44, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I am not the Officer of Arms of the Crest Korwin. If somebody tell me that his family tradition claims to be entitled to this Coat of arms is OK to me, even if there are not available sources on the net. Nevertheless, if some surname is include anonymously, I will presume unintentional misinformation or simple vandalism if I can not find some kind of proof.

Dear wikipedians, I am just re writing all this estateman in order to be clear and to correct my own mistakes.--Gustavo (talk) 01:44, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Alternative crest of Korwin coat of arms and the right to use it
The surnames of the families entitled to Korwin coat of arms were 100 more or less. In the list edited in this article (and in the sites availables on line) there are much more, 165. It seems that the list of surnames of Korwin I and Korwin II are currently merged (some sources name a Korwin III also). Those sites use to say they do not have enough information about the surnames entitled to Korwin II or Korwin III or they do not have nothing at all. Also, the confusion between Korwin and Slepowron coats of arms (and theirs many variations), make the things worst. (There are variations with the field of green, yellow and blue... and Przykorwin coat of arms, and if Materna is a Korwin or Slepowron variation... et cetera!).

In this context to use the Ostrich feathers (usually three, but sometimes five) or the Raven in crest (standing quiet or with its wings extended for flight); as the raven in the escutcheon facing right or left, may be a matter of taste rather than a claiming proper--Gustavo (talk) 01:45, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

May be not a “Korwin surname” properly, but included in Korwin (herb szlachecki)
There are misunderstandings between Korwin coat-of-arms as variation of Ślepowron coat-of-arms and “Korwin” as alternative name to Ślepowron coat-of-arms. Nevertheless Terajowicz is considered Korwin in R. Jurzak’s “Genealogia Dynastyczna - Dynastic Genealogy” and Terajewicz - Terajowicz may be easily confused. So “in dubitas pro reo”... --Gustavo (talk) 04:05, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * There are Terajewicz, Terajowicz h. Ślepowron in A. B. Winiarski’s work.

May be not a ”Korwin surname” at all, but included in Korwin (herb szlachecki)
--Gustavo (talk) 04:12, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Drużyński h. Ślepowron (in T. Gajl, A. Znamierowski, and A. B. Winiarski works) it seems not to be Korwin – this surname was edited by an anonymous (88.156.89.129) in 26 październik /October 2007 in w:pl and the same guy (88.156.89.129) in 30 Oct 2007 in w:en. I deleted it but I am open to discussion.
 * Anyway the "Ślepowron/Korwin usual confusion" allow to include it in the list.--Gustavo (talk) 15:50, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

May be not a ”Korwin surname” at all (rather a “Sas surname”), but included in Korwin (herb szlachecki)
--Gustavo (talk) 04:14, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Łopuszański h. Sas (in T. Gajl, A. Znamierowski and A. B. Winiarski works) it seems not to be Korwin at all. - edited by an anonymous (83.144.72.148) in 1 listopad/November 2006. I didn't include it but I am open to discussion.

Surnames not available in any on-line armorials at all, but included in Korwin (herb szlachecki)
This was edited by an anonymous (87.205.249.255) in 2 grudzień/December 2008: "Binkowski (a także od tego nazwiska skrócony Binek)", roughly "a short form of Binkowski" (???). Binek is a surname currently considered in use by about 1900 people in Poland. Astonishing it was included and deleted several times in w:pl surnames list. The issue concerns about Janusz Korwin-Mikke, a controversial Polish journalist and politician, however so many editions may refer to a political-war in Poland rather a real looking for genealogy-heraldic sources. "Korwin-Mikke" may be also (or may be not) a double-barreled surname rather a form of "Crest-Name" (the Polish-gentry style as an alternative to "Name h. (herbu/coat-of arms) Crest"). Mikke is a surname currently considered in use by 120 people in Poland.
 * Binek – it seems not to be in on-line armorials at all.
 * Mikke - it seems not to be in on-line armorials at all.
 * Muecke - it seems not to be in on-line armorials at all. It was included anonymously and deleted later in w:pl surnames list. It seems that nobody use the surname Muecke in Poland currently, but there are a few in Germany.
 * I didn't include them but I am open to discussion.

Special case: Noskowski z Noskowa
Nevertheless, Łukasz z Noskowa was a scholar and chancellor of the Cracow Academy see Chancellors of the Cracow Academy – currently Jagiellonian University (1500-1599) - ennobled (circa 1526) and entitled to Korwin coat of arms (Chancellors and scholars of the University used to be ennobled). In Kochanowiczów herbu Korwin say "Wizerunek herbu korwin znajduje się na płycie nagrobnej Lukasza Noskowskiego (zm. 1532) w kościele Mariackim w Krakowie." rougly: "Korwin coat of arms can be found on the tombstone of Łukasz Noskowski (death 1532), in St. Mary's Basilica, Kraków." But may be, he never used the surname "Noskowski" really. He could be "Korwin z Noskowa" or "Noskowski z Noskowa h. Korwin", or he didn't get descendants (so his surname disappeared), or even more, perhaps he was ennobled with another surname, etc. In 16th century Poland-Lithuania the style and title of ennoblement (nobilitacja) carried on the use of a Coat of arms and a Surname, sometimes gived by the Crown and sometimes self-gived (usually taken from his estate). Polish-ethnic burghers and peasants didn't use surnames yet. Sometimes if the new-noble already had a foreign surname or nickname (Polish-German burghers mainly) he could get a new surname considered "more Polish". Many foreign nobles re-ennobled (indygenat) in Poland did the same - i.e. Anyway, available on-line are: Noskowski h. Dębno, Gryf, Łada, Rawicz, Zaremba (T. Gajl's work). Noskowski, h. Gryf, Łada, Rawicz, Zaręba (A. Znamierowski's work). Noskowski h. Dębno, Gryf, Łada, Zaremba (A. B. Winiarski's work). Noskowski ze Srzeńska h. Łada and Noskowski h. Rawicz (E. Sęczys' work). No "Noskowski h. Korwin". Not yet... I hope that an article about Lukasz z Noskowa will be written in w:pl in future. --Gustavo (talk) 04:55, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Noskowski z Noskowa or Noskowski - there is no source currently available on-line to this surname as entitled to use the Korwin coat of arms.
 * German "Löllhöffel von Löwensprung" turned on "Lelewel  h. Loelhoeffel" (also said Lelewel coat of arms),
 * French "Andrault de Buy" turned on "Antonowicz h. Andrault de Buy",
 * Italian "Torelli" become "Poniatowski h. Ciołek" (Italian vitello/torello, meaning calf/little-bull is cielę/ciołek in Polish), etc. etc. etc.
 * Meantime I choose Noskowski z Noskowa to avoid misunderstandings with the other Noskowski families.
