Jabroczky Families

Jabroczky Surname

 Spelling variations: Jabrocky, Jabroski, Jábroczky.


Hungarian historian Iván NAGY writes about Jábroczky family in his book Magyarország családai czímerekkel és nemzedékrendi táblákkal. (Families of Hungary with coats of arms and genealogical tables.) Budapest, 1857-1868. p. 273.

The Jabroczky family originates in Dalmatia and left to Spis in Slovakia. The son of Luis Jabroczki, Benedikt, received a noble title and coat of arms from king Sigismund in Bratislava in 1411 (in festo ded. S. Michaelis Archangeli - 29 September 1411) for his merits. Benedikt's brother Albert was captain of the king's personal guard. He fought with the king at Nikopol and fell there. Benedikt was captured and suffered in captivity together with the king in Siklos castle. His descendants lived in Kežmarok in Spiš before 1600.

Adam the Elder was in 1601 the court captain of Stephan 1581 - 1651 (possibly also Sebastian d. 1607) Toköly and is mentioned in a document of Rudolf II, according to which he is obliged to pay 2,000 florins to Petho of Gerse as compensation for the injury of Francis Petho. According to the aforementioned documents, Adam the Elder had three sons, Daniel, Adam and Job. In 1681, Adam the Elder was beheaded by the Tököly family (Vladimir Riha).


Kolodzey Connection

The Jabroczky family is connected to the Kolodzey family through the Pekar Line merged at Franciscus Kolodzey and Maria Erma Pekar.  Maria Erma Pekar's mother was listed on her marriage record as Catharina Jabroczky.


Crest Description

Arms divided horizontally into two halves, the lower one is golden, the upper one is silver; From the lower half, a blood-red rock rises like a pyramid to the silver half, and on it a pelican is seen sitting in a nest with outstretched wings, feeding its three young with blood from its breast. Above the halves are two helmets with a visor, of which a double cross stained with blood is depicted on the crown of the right one, and from the left crown a naturally coloured two-tailed lion emerges, which holds the severed head of a Turk in its right fore paw and a bloody halberd in its left.
