The family had no ties to Poland that are known, but did add it as a suffix before place-name (Abraham's likely cousin was Isaac Marcus (Mordekhai) Calish Copenhagen, born in Copenhagen 1749-Amsterdam 1810, and so the family custom was to put the location the individual was known by following the name "Calish" - hence Heilbringhen.- Owner
