Georg Erdelszky-Torday

Georg Erdelszky-Torday is the earliest known member of the Erdelsky family, and the named recipient of the coat of arms featured on the Erdelsky home page.

The date on the coat of arms is February 26, 1580, which is approximately 104 years before the death of his wife and 75 years before the birth of his son András. It seems likely that the coat of arms was backdated or was awarded to his father. Perhaps further research will shed light on this matter.
