The main seat of the Czacki family of the Świnka coat of arms was located in Greater Poland, in the Kościan district. The earliest noted owner of the Czacz village was, in 1352, Michał - a participant of the Greater Poland Confederacy (konfederacja wielkopolska). The most notable Czacki family members included Piotr, who became a German count of the and Andrzej - a high-ranking priest. Wojciech was the first Czacki to settle in Volyn at the beginning of the 17th century. The next recorded owners of the village were Bartłomiej and, subsequently, Aleksander. The Czacki line in Volyn begins with Wojciech Stanisław (1655-1699), Volyn ensign who took part in the battle of Chocim as a lieutenant, married to Katarzyna Zahorowska, daughter of Volyn castellan Stefan. Her dowry included the Poryck manor and the Poryck town became the Czacki family seat for several centuries. The sons of Wojciech Stanisław and Katarzyna were: royal rotmistrz (cavalry commander) Stefan Ignacy who died childless and Michał Hieronim (died 1745), Volyn castellan who married to Konstancja Wielohorska. The importance of the family increased thanks to their sons: Szczęsny (1723-1790), cupbearer of the Crown and Franciszek (1727-1787), guard of the Crown. Szczęsny was especially famous as a multiple memeber of the Sejm, interned by the Russian army for 7 years in in his manor in Poryck for his imnplaccably hostile attitude towards Russia. His older son Michał (died 1728) was a member of the Four-Year Sejm and the younger Tadeusz became famous inVolyn as the founder (in 1805) of the well-known Volhy- nian Gimnasium located in Krzemieniec.
