Umiastowski-von Nandelstädt is a Polish noble-aristocratic family and one of oldest aristocratic lines in Central and Eastern Europe with records in Poland going back to 1238.

History

The Umiastowski family line is a Polish line. Their origins date back to the Piast dynasty period. The Umiastowskis possessed numerous estates in Mazovia, Kuyavia, and Lesser Poland. The progenitor of the family, Rościsław, was a starost of Płock and hetman under Konrad I of Masovia.
