The Beleskey - Beliski - Bieliski -Bielecki *Lithuanian Family Crest
Flag of Lithuania Our Family Name: Beleskey - Beliski - Bieliski - Bielecki As you may not know the Beleskey Beliski - Bieliski - Bielecki Families: are of Lithuanian decent, polish heritage and traditions. The
narrative obtained from the “The Historical
Research Center” describes the following
Historical information. The Lithuanian surname Beleskey/Beliski/Bieliski is of homonymic [ same as ] origin, deriving from the place name where the initial bearer lived or held land. In tHis instance the surname is considered to be a variant of the Polish Beliski - Bieliski, both finding their roots in a place names “Beles”, with the addition of the suffix”-skey” which is a phonic variant of “-ski”, a standard Slavic ending. Thus the first bearer of the surname Beleskey/Beliski/Bieliski/Bielecki ‘s was someone who was identified by the members of His community as “one who hailed from Beles”. In some cases, His name may also have originated from the estate of the family, in which instance, it can be interpreted “the lord of Beles”. The surname is also record as Belewicz and Bielewski - Bielecki’s.. Etymologically the loponym derives from the Slavic term “biel”, meaning “white”. After the union of Horodla in 1413, when Lithuania and Poland united, many members of the Lithuanian aristocracy adopted the polish form of their surnames and indeed Lithuanian society was to become completely Polonized. Indeed, the variant form of Beliski/Bieliski was borne by a noble Lithuanian family, which was a sept of the great clan Mogila. The ancestral seal of tHis house was located in the city of Zmudz, where their existence was documented in 1840. Zmudz, a Russian diocese, also called Telshi (Telshe), including the part of Lithuania lying on the Baltic; tHis Lithuanian district, also named Schmudien (Polish, Zmudz) or Schamaiten (Lithuanian, Zemaitis), was conquered about 1380 by the Teutonic Knights, and ceded to Poland in 1411 by the first Treaty of Thorn after the defeat of Tannenberg. The surname of Beliski was of the family which was a sept (family) of the clan of Sreniawa. The Family Tree name “Beliski” of our ancestors now dates back to 1414 in Lithuania. Our ancestors also came from Lithuania then to Prussia and then to Poland. then from Germany they arrived in Canada and United States, in the late 19th century His Name “Bernard” meaning in English. from an Old French name of Germanic (Frankish) origin, derived from ber(n) ‘bear’ + hard ‘hardy, brave, strong’. His was the name of three famous medieval churchmen: St Bernard of Menthon ( 923–1008 ), founder of a hospice on each of the Alpine passes named after him; the monastic reformer St Bernard of Clairvaux ( 1090–1153 ); and the scholastic philosopher Bernard of Chartres. It was adopted by the Normans and introduced by them to England. A native Old English form, Beornheard, was superseded by the Norman form. “His” Paternal Surnames Names: His

The Palmer History It is a name for a person who worked as a palmer. The surname Palmer was originally derived from the Old French word palmer, which was taken from the Latin word palmifer meaning palm bearer. In this case the original bearer of the surname was a pilgrim who carried palm branches back from the Holy Land. In early History the name Palmer represented a missionary. Early Origins of the Palmer family The surname Palmer was first found in “the east of England, especially in Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, and Kent.” The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 include the following: Alice le Palmere in Cambridgeshire; Ralph le Palmere in Yorkshire; and Robert le Palmere in Lincolnshire.

It is a product of their having lived in the county of Kent. The surname Kent belongs to the large category of Anglo-Saxon habitation names. As a general rule, the greater the distance between individuals and their homelands, the larger the territory they were named after. For example, people who only moved to another parish would be known by the name of their original village. While people who migrated to a different country were often known by the name of the region or country from which they came. Early Origins of the Kent family The surname Kent was first found in Berkshire, where they held a family seat from ancient times, some say before the Norman Conquest in 1066 A.D.
