Summary/Abstract: The article presents the stylistic diversity of official biographical notes and family periodicals. The paper demonstrates the peculiar pragmatic relation among the authors and readers connected with the Janota Bzowski family tradition. Some family members have been described in texts from different sources: more official biographical notes and more private as well as emotional memoirs. The official notes from biographical lexicons contain the most important facts about the hero, a clan member. On the other hand, the family memoirs reveal a subjective choice of events, which are, however, described specifically and in details.
