File:Example.jpg]] About Bogusz  as this is my history, and history has a way of being buried with the past. As my father knew his father and his father before that, so it is told......Bogusz IS said to be recorded from the 13th century, and its told between families that we are derived of heraldic lineage that land was granted for battles fought, and it is told that we are Upper Sylesian, this is from the historic realm of of the AustroHungarian Empire, of which Bogusz is from the Former Austrian borders, and that the historic name Bogusz was formerly Boguslitz, later in history to be reduced to the stem Bogusz. History is documented to account for the Longest peaceful rule of Franz Joseph, and the point in history when it was decided to divide the empire and give self governance to the new boundries. This was the birth of Poland a domain of Prussian, Latvian, Lithuanian and Austro hungarian nationals certianing Sylesians of Austrian decent. Bogusz is still in Upper Sylesia, resident in the Carpatian mountains in an area called Bielska Biala,. Which was now in the new domain Poland. My granfathers and father property was ceased for a tsar. to my knowledge it was not returned to the family after the II world war. The Bogusz's did bear a coat of arms, the one above is modernist. The early one given in Burkes Peerage shown on my home page . Thakyou, I hope this snip of history is helpful. Welcoming responses and input
