I am a descendant of the Dlugokecki Family (pronounced "dwugokenski") from Plock County, Powiat Mlawski (district), Poland. You can research your geneology re Dlugokecki on this Polish website. Perhaps we are related? You mention the name and its origin. The name is taken from a village named "Dlugo Kanty" (translation: Long Corners). In 1411, in a year of peace, the village of Dlugo Kanty was attacked by invading Teutonic Knights -- a man by the name of "Dziadlo", together with his sons and sons-in-law, successfully defended this little village and defeated the Knights, driving them away -- and thus saved the village. He was rewarded for this heroic deed by a land-grant from the Polish King which also included the village, and his name was changed to "Dlugokecki", Lord of Dlugo Kanty. He also was granted a coat-of-arms. The village of Dlugo Kanty became the "clan nest". This story appears in the Chronicles of Powiat Mlawski -- and also appears in the "Acts of the Kings of Poland" -- there is other documentation as well: ratification from the Polish Sejm (Parliament); recognitions by the Czar of Russia, King of Prussia, and Margrave of Brandenburg. Do you read Polish? There is an excellent CD-ROM diskette available from the Polish Bookstore in New York entitled "Herbasz Polski" by Bienicki (a highly-respected Polish geneologist). Some of the information on this diskette is also in English translation. Feel free to contact me for more information.

Hello!
My name is Kristīne Rezņikova and I am from Kuldīga, Latvia. I saw your message in ancestry.com. You said that your grandad is Cheslaw Dlugokecki from Poland. Maybe, your grandad is born in 1912 in Przasnysz and he have a long-lost sister named Bronislawa? If that so, then you are my relative. My granny (Bronislawa Dlugokecki) was born in 1915 in Przasnysz (Poland) and when she was about 20 years old she comed to Latvia. After WW2 she lost all conections with her family in Poland. Now I`m traying to find my relatives too. If our stories stick together, please write me: susurnjix@inbox.lv
