Chołodecki

In the late 17th century Kazimierz Amor Chołodecki becomes a man of some stature in Włodzimierz Wołyński, living on the estate of Piatydnia.

The Białynia clan, to which the Chołodecki family belongs, was granted its coat of arms for bravery in battle under King Łokietek.

[2] During the Massacres of Poles in Volhynia in 1943 Antoni and Wiktoria Cholodecki were murdered by UPA forces,[3] while the largest segment managed to flee west and eventually settled around the city of Wrocław.

Huta Stara, while consisting of around 100 homes, became a regional sanctuary for 10,000 Poles who flocked to the town seeking shelter and safety from UPA attacks.

A decisive battle waged on October 16, 1943, defeated the UPA and allowed the family to stay in the town until the summer of 1945, when they were forcibly repatriated to areas around Kołobrzeg.

Jarosław Chołodecki was the vice-chair for the Regional Board in "Solidarność" when it was formed in 1980, and he spent over a year in jail when Poland instituted martial law in 1981.

The most significant holdings were around Żytomierz, Włodzimierz Wołyński and Łuck, namely the villages of Obłapy, Kudynowce, Ceców,[1][5] Lachowa, and Nikonówka.
