Kuczynski family: Looking for Coat of Arms

Any suggestions to find my family's coat of arms? Kuczynski would be the surname. Of course, I can search the web but how do I know how accurate the results are. That's about it.

looks damn easy to me, found this one and four other pages with the same design on the 1st search :O)

my mothers name was Kuczynski .She was from Brooklyn

Merged: Has anyone ever heard of my uncle...Janek Kuczynski?

He was an Olympic wrestler in the 60's for Poland and a medal winner! He was a great man that just passed recently.

Just curious if he was known in Poland .....

Dziękuję !!!!

To był mój wujek! Moja mama straciła go, i 2 innych braci w 3 tygodnie !

RIP Wujek Janek

Please, keep to English Language in this thread. Thank you.

I cannot believe I used an S in Kuczynski! My mother is laughing ....which is great! She is so proud of her brothers!

Poland...it's in your blood...and I am proud to be Polish and always will be!

Thank you for the links...any other comments appreciated... He was a man I always looked up to. He visited the US for a few months, as did his wife. They were a married couple that could not stand being apart, true love is what they had. His wife ( my ciocia) was VERY ill just before Wujek Janek's death and he was beside her the entire time. She was only home for a few days after extensive heart surgery, that she barely survived. Wujek then died during breakfast at home with her. He did not suffer, Which I thank God for! I am proud of my family and what they have done for Poland ( LONG story) and cannot wait to move there to spend the rest of my life. I am lucky to have my cousin coming shortly to discuss the transition. He knows me well and, knows my love of Poland! I look at the pictures of me as a child in Poland visiting Babcia Antonia...and I appreciate my heritage and the history of my family. Well I promised to make the Bigos when my cousin arrives. He taught me to make it "properly" last vistit a few months ago. Looks like I'll be cooking for 3 days :)

And it was so hard for my mother ...we received a call EVERY week for 3 weeks ...one brother ...after another ...had passed...I cannot imagine her pain! I take care of her and will be bringing her to Poland, which is her dream!

I lost 3 uncle's that I loved and spoke to often. My heart still cries when I think of them.

Sorry to ramble...

I can speak and read Polish ....but I spared you my poor writing skills...for now :)

BEST TO ALL THE PEOPLE OF POLAND!

KUCZYŃSKI: topo nick from Kuczyn or Kuczyna; root-word kuczeć (to squat down in old Polish)

Just wondering ...are you refering to wrestling,squatting and the name ?

Thanks for the breakdown of the name ...

No, the name emerged centuries ago, so the fact that your ancestor was amongst those who inherited it was a coincidence unconnected to his wrestling career. If you met a bloke named Bakerfield, you woudln't ask him if he bakes bread for a living or lives in a field, would you? Unless you wanted to be a poor man's comedian!

I realize that the name has been inherited through history. It was just unclear to me if you were insulting him/the name or, just give me a bit of fact concerning the name.

If they were some facts for me to know ...thank you !

If not...well ... you should be able to understand how someone would feel concerning an insult on their family name.

I wish you the best, and hope I misunderstood your comment!
Maybe we can meet in Poland soon and discuss this in detail!

Thinking good thoughts...wishing you the best....
