Like many other noble families of the
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, they played a prominent role in
Polish, and to a lesser extent, in
Belarusian history. They were descended from
Andrzej Kalinowski (1465 – 1531) and used the
Kalinowa coat of arms. On 17 August 1818, the family was awarded the title of
Count in the
Austrian Empire. This family lives to this day in Poland. ==Notable members==
