II Archiwum Szymona Konarskiego, część druga
Szymon Konarski's Archive II, Part 2

Summary/Abstract: This text presents the last stage of work on the archival set from the Genealogy and Heraldry Cabinet of the Royal Castle in Warsaw known as the Szymon Konarski’s Archive II. Exactly one year after the publication of the first part of the Szymon Konarski’s Archive II I managed to complete my research and analysis of this genealogical and heraldic archival set. Documents contained in the archive were steadily gathered by Szymon Konarski starting from the 1930s and organised alphabetically, which allowed for creation of an extensive set with 660 surnames matching 660 archival units. The name numbering remains consistent with the first part of Szymon Konarski’s Archive II. The numer in the brackets is an ordinal numeral of the second part. Szymon Konarski’s Archive II, part 2 contains a unique genealogical and heraldic material in a form of correspondence, documents of noble lineage, photocopies of documents of Heralds of the Congress Poland and other rich material. In numerous letters grouped into 337 envelopes (337 archival units), named (in alphabetical order) and contained in 12 folders (in case of the Szymon Konarski’s Archive II, part 2) there are charts and genealogical graphs of Polish and foreign families, an excerpt of a family chronicle, photocopies and copies of archival documents, as well as original documents. Apart from invaluable genealogical and heraldic information, the correspondece contains also the details linked to setting up the Polish Association of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, as well as to the life of Polish émigrés in Europe, Asia, United States, South America, Australia and Africa.
