Title: Polish Countess
Post by: Piltdown_man on Friday 03 July 15 23:23 BST (UK)

I am trying to identify a Polish Countess but this is proving difficult because the only information I have is the name "Countess Koentaki". This name is given in a newspaper in 1878 (in the British Newspaper Archive). However, whoever wrote this quite likely either only heard the name or the information was passed to them and is quite likely an incorrect spelling.  :P

I have tried the following with no success so maybe someone with a better idea might come up with something.

You could try this Austrian site: http://www.familienkunde.at/Adel_Polen_Namensindex_A.htm
After the name it says "vom Wappen ...", change this to "Clan of ..." and you can then search.

Good luck, Peonie
