History

edit

Like many other noble families of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, they played a prominent role in Polish, and to a lesser extent, in Belarusian history. They were descended from Andrzej Kalinowski (1465 – 1531) and used the Kalinowa coat of arms. On 17 August 1818, the family was awarded the title of Count in the Austrian Empire.[1] This family lives to this day in Poland.[1]
