Slominski coat of arms

Good day, my brother and I are interested in our family name and coat of arms. Since I can remember I've always been interested in the Scottish clans/ Irish clans and festivals (we don't have Polish ones near me) Scottish games etc. Come to find out our Polish heritage that Poland had clans. So amazed.

Any info on finding my family history would be helpful.
Surname. Slominski
Thank you.

The gentry line of hte Słomińskis belonged to the Noble Clan (or House) of Nowina. But at some stage a group of well-born Nowina-linked Słomińskis broke off and set up an own-name clan of their own. They called it Słomiński and slightly modified the Nowina coat of arms. For a full explanation of the meanders of the Polish clan system and heraldry in general as well as a view of the two different coats of arms, please contact me.
