History
The Puttkamer family considers Swienca family to be their first documented ancestors.[1] However, despite using almost the same coat of arms, historians are divided on this issue.[2]
While some of its branches have awarded with the title of Graf,[a] others are entitled to the lesser Freiherr.[b] According to a widespread family tradition, many firstborn Puttkamer sons receive the first name of Jesco. The branch of the family moved in the 16th century to Livonia and from there to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Notes
- Regarding personal names: Graf was a title before 1919, but now is regarded as part of the surname. It is translated as Count. Before the August 1919 abolition of nobility as a legal class, titles preceded the full name when given (Graf Helmuth James von Moltke). Since 1919, these titles, along with any nobiliary prefix (von, zu, etc.), can be used, but are regarded as a dependent part of the surname, and thus come after any given names (Helmuth James Graf von Moltke). Titles and all dependent parts of surnames are ignored in alphabetical sorting. The feminine form is Gräfin.
- Regarding personal names: Freiherr was a title before 1919, but now is regarded as part of the surname. It is translated as Baron. Before the August 1919 abolition of nobility as a legal class, titles preceded the full name when given (Graf Helmuth James von Moltke). Since 1919, these titles, along with any nobiliary prefix (von, zu, etc.), can be used, but are regarded as a dependent part of the surname, and thus come after any given names (Helmuth James Graf von Moltke). Titles and all dependent parts of surnames are ignored in alphabetical sorting. The feminine forms are Freifrau and Freiin.
