The Family Crest

The Coat of Arms

This historiography was prepared individually for the Morzelewski surname on November 11, 1974.

The coat of arms illustrated in the picutre was drawn by a heraldic artist based upon information about the Morzelewki surname and its association with heraldry. In the language of the ancient heralds, the arms are described as follows:

"Quartered: 1st, or; the letter "M" sa.; 2nd and 3rd, gu.; a sun in spendor or.; 4th, or; a pale sa. Charged with a small inner shield arg."

The Morzelewski arms in translated:

Divided into quarters: 1st quarter, gold background; a black initial"M", 2nd and 3rd quarters, red background; a gold rayed sun with a human face; 4th quarter, gold background; a black vertical band. A small silver inner shield placed over all.

A sun symbolizes glory, splendor, high authority. Seven vivid colors were chosen for use on shields of armor clad knights to easily identify then at a distance. The heraldic colors gold, silver, purple, blue, green, black, and red were preserved on colorless drawings by dot and line symbols. The Morzelewski coat of arms incorporated silver. The metal silver represents serenity and nobility.

Information available indicates that in 1973 there were less than 50 households in the U.S. with the old and distinguished Morzelewski name. In comparison, some family names represent over 400,000 households in the United States.

This report does not represent the individual lineage of the Morzelewski family tree and no genealogical representation in intended or implied.

Building the Blog

Well this is a new venture for me. I am hoping that many of you will participate and assist in utilizing and building this blog. It truly can become a place to keep up with family and to get to know those that are away.

Until I know more about this process, submit photo's, comments, stories, family updates (baptism's, graduations, births, weddings, etc.) to me at chsmom59@gmail.com and I will get them posted. (suggestions and ideas appreciated)

Your patience will be greatly appreciated. I return to work on the 24th of August and may only have one day a week to play with this.

Hope to recieve lots of pictures, comments, etc. Let's utilize technology to build our family ties the best we can.
