Notes
a. Note:   Occupaton: Farmer Descendant of Mikolaj Kornicz Hospody-Blogoslaw "Blessed by Mikolaj was a Lord and son of a Polish knight who in 1343 was created a noble by the Polish and Galician Kings. He was given a coat of arms depicting a High Cross of the Tau fashion with two bread loaves on each end, representing the Body of Christ. The legend has it that he was given this noble status because he was "blessed by God with the courage to fight and defeat their foes", thus resulting in the name "Hospody-Blogoslaw", from which our surname derives. Kornic himself was a descendant of a Viking bodyguard of Grand Duke Sviatopolk of Kiev. In 1018, King Boleslaw I of Poland returned from his campaign in Kiev, where he was assisting his son-in-law, Sviatopolk, retain his throne. Sviatopolk perished in battle however, so his Royal Guard, of which our ancestor was a member, returned to Poland with Boleslaw I to protect the heir to the throne of Kiev. It is said that during this return to Poland, Boleslaw I founded our ancestral home of Grodzisko as a defense fortress against the oncoming Russian forces. It is likely that our Viking ancestor was stationed at this defense fortress with the task of defending the Polish border. This all ocurred during the Piast dynasty however, so when the Jagiellonians took over Poland in 1386, our family most likely lost any noble status that they possessed. DNA analysis indicates that the Hospod family is of Haplogroup I1, the Scandinavian haplogroup. Our closest genetic cousins have been found to have origins in Scotland, Ireland, England, Germany, and Sweden, indicating a definite Viking connection.
