Chołodecki

Chołodecki

in 1669 and in the late 17th century Kazimierz Amor Chołodecki becomes a man of some stature in Włodzimierz Wołyński, living on the estate of Piatydnia. The family was confirmed as Szlachta in 1783 and 1825 by the Austrian authorities in Galicia, while in Wołyń the stricter Russian rules also confirm nobility in 1811 and 1827.

Patriotic traditions

The Białynia clan, to which the Chołodecki family belongs, was granted its coat of arms for bravery in battle under King Łokietek. The Chołodecki's continued their clans tradition, in 1675 ). As Russian criminal court records now show, due to the families continued involvement in all of the major upheavals in Poland's fight for independence during the 19th century on the old territories of the Commonwealth, the family living in Wołyń had all of its land and belongings confiscated. The major confiscations occurred after the Kraków Uprising and the January Uprising, with some members, such as Aleksander Chołodecki, fleeing to France. The small but more prominently known section of the family located in Galicia was left with mostly leasehold estates.

The Chołodecki's involvement in the fight for Poland's independence also extended into World War I and the Polish-Ukrainian War (Józef Białynia Chołodecki), and World War II (Witold Chołodecki, who was murdered by Soviet forces in Charków in 1940). Chołodecki's also fought for an end to communism in Poland, Jarosław Chołodecki was the vicechair for the Regional Board in "Solidarność" when it was formed in 1980, he spent over a year in jail when Poland instituted marshal law in 1981.

Estates

Members of the Chołodecki family owned small tracts of land and villages in Wołyń and Galicia in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The most significant holdings were around Żytomierz, Włodzimierz Wołyński and Łuck, namely the villages of Obłapy, Kudynowce, Ceców [http://home.att.net/~Toporow/Baedeker.htm] , Lachowa, and Nikonówka. The family also had leaseholds in Galicia, namely Bednarów and Piatydnia. The family also had close relationships with the Potockis for hundreds of years, administering some of the vast estates of the family, including holdings in Lwów and the Brzoza Stadnicka estate into the 20th century, while a Mikołaj Chołodecki was listed as a reiter for the Potocki's as early as 1703.
