| Blumberk herb |
 The
following article is a direct translation from the classic
genealogical and heraldic reference "Herharz Polski" by
Kasper Niesiecki SJ. Lipsk edition 1839-46. Translated by William F
Hoffman.
At one time this house flourished
in Livonia; now it does so in Poland. Among its members was Siferdus
a Blomberch (that's how it used to be spelled), Riga archbishop
circa 1400. Mikolaj was Piltyn starosta in 1686, and
earlier Jan Blumberk stood for the election of Wladyslaw IV in
Livonia. Jerzy was for Jan III. Neither Paprocki nor Okolski wrote
about them.
Blumberk, commander of the Zamojski garrison, had
two sons and a daughter who married Cybulski - Krasicki's note.
