It all started (at least as far as we can
find out) with Jozsef Fischer in the town of Kisvárda in the north
eastern portion of Hungary. Described as a horse trader in the
census of 1848 his descendants have formed the Fischer family.
This family has now spread across the globe with members in
Hungary, Sweden, Australia, the USA, Canada, South America, Israel
and South Africa.
This is the coat of arms for the town of Kisvárda, known
as a 'cimer' in Hungarian or 'arma' in Latin. Nézö István and
Szivák Gábor in their book, "Kisvárda a források
tükrében" state that these coats of arms were used in the
middle ages to distinguish one noble house from another and
enabled the followers and retainers of a nobleman to distinguish
themselves from others on the battlefield. Coats of arms arrived
in Hungary at the time of the Anjou kings of France. They write
that since the occupation of the Hungarian homeland this area has
been important for the defence of the realm. This is epitomised in
by means of the left hand side of the shield which is red cut
seven times with silver a part of the Hungarian. In the first two
centuries the Árpád rulers of Hungary were also the overlords of
the area in which Kisvárda is located. This connection with the
earliest conquest of Hungary by the Magyar hordes is an indicator
of the place that this are has in Hungarian history.
