Pistolkors family coat of arms

The Pistolekors family (also von Pistohlkors) is a Baltic-German noble family of Finnish origin. It is immatriculated into Swedish House of Nobility 1647 and into Finnish House of Nobility 1818. Nowadays the family still lives in Germany and Baltic States.

History

The progenitor of the family was a soldier Yrjänä Ollinpoika (Göran Olofsson) from Sääminki, who was ennobled by Queen Christina by letters patent 22 February 1645, according to the unverified story for saving the life of King Gustavus Adolphus with a pistol in Sztum 1629. His six sons became officers, Erik is the ancestor of the branch in Livonia (von Pistohlkors), Abraham became the commandant of Olavinlinna.

In older genealogical literature it has been said that the Pistolekors family descended from the Scotts of Craighall, but there is no proof to that, more likely from Partanen family, as based on literature, Yrjänä Ollinpoika was using Partanen seal.
