cbear85 22 Jun 2015 #1Our Last name is Gliwa and yet I can't find any Polish coat of arms or anything to verify the family clan. Where should I look next?
Looker - | 1,139 23 Jun 2015 #2You can't say your name doesn't appear anywhere - it's quite known in Poland:moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/gliwa.htmlIf you want to contact some ancestors try to reach people with the Gliwa surname in/near the place of residence of your known relatives from Poland. Use Facebook page and the nk.pl ('equivalent' of FB in Poland).However, considering the coat of arms - yes, I couldn't find any info about Gliwa COA. Maybe another PF user named Polonius3 will give his opinion about this name, he should know better.
OP cbear85 23 Jun 2015 #3I didn't have that headline someone changed it .. But I am trying to find the coat of arms for Gliwa and my father was looking as he wanted it
Polonius3 1,000 | 12,446 24 Jun 2015 #4coat of arms for GliwaNo Gliwa ever held membership of a szlachta (gentry) clan and therefore no coat of arms accompanies that surname. But Gliwa descendants -- Gliwicz and GliwiĆski -- did eventually make it into the ranks of the well-born. Please PM me for details.
