Gaffron family

[2] And because their coats of arms doesn't belong to any of the Polish clans it's highly unlikely that the Gaffrons originally came from Poland.

Because of such an early appearance in the area of Groß Wartenberg (today Syców) the located village Gaffron there should be their earliest estate.

Herrmann von Gaffron und Oberstradam obtained the Prussian title of baron on October 15, 1840, with the name 'Gaffron-Kunern'[5] The important estates in the principality of Oels were: Mahjau (Trebnitz county, from 1387 to 1448), Buschka (1358 sold), Gaffron (before 1358 to 1481),[6] Trembatschau (1440 to 1572)[7] also Ober Stradam (before 1557 to 1611 and last part was sold in 1635).

But one of them, Sigmund von Gaffron-Oberstradam, left the Oels area and went to his wife's Anna v. Saurma-Jeltsch estate Haltauf in principality of Münsterberg in 1628.

The last baron of the family, Theodor Freiherr von Gaffron-Kunern, sold Kunern, Haltauf and Märzdorf on November 17, 1882, to the house of Sachsen-Weimar.
