history
In France
The family came from Languedoc and was mentioned in documents as early as 1311. It was first named "D'Uclaux de Labaume" after the castle "La Baume" which it owned at the time.
The first known representative of the family was the noble Guillaume (Wilhelm) Jouary d'Uclaux, Écuyer , who lived at the beginning of the 15th century, but the continuous line of tribe begins with Julien († July 16, 1539), owner of Cailaret in Languedoc, who bought a house in Alçon. His son Antoine, lord of Cailaret and patron saint of the church in Alçon (1540), married Alix de Montblanc, heir daughter of Antoine, lords of Montblanc and Pereyne Castle on February 16, 1533 . Their son Jacques († January 18, 1599), Lord of Cailaret and Montblanc, married Marguerite († July 25, 1585) Guion de Cappine on September 23, 1571, through whom La Baume came into family ownership .
Jean D'Uclaux de Labaume, lord of Cailaret, Labaume and Montblanc in the Cevennes (Languedoc) region, son of the above, married Marie, daughter of Jean, lord of Cauvissons and lord of d'Aupargnac on August 26, 1606.
Louis, son of Jean and Marie, main man in the "Normandy Infantry Regiment", passed a test of nobility on July 29, 1669 in Montpellier . After his marriage to Delphine, the heiress of the estate "La Valette", on August 24, 1654, the family carried the second surname "de La Valette". Delphine was the daughter of François de Vissec de Latude, Lord of Vissec , Latude, La Valette etc. and Marguerite de Fabres et Fabry. Again her son, Lieutenant Colonel in the de La Ferre Infantry, Knight of St. Louis, married in 1706 to Isabeau de Malbosc et Miral.
Antoine d'Uclaux, Seigneur de Labaume, de La Valette et Cailaret, son of the above, was a French diplomat, governor (lieutenant du roi) of Languedoc. On August 14, 1768, King Louis XV of France and Navarre gave him the hereditary title of French Count in Primogenitur . He fought under Marshal de Belle-Isle in Bohemia and was taken prisoner.

The prevalence of the title of count for himself and his brothers took place in Prussia on March 23, 1788 and on the Austrian side in 1795. In 1787 he was envoy to Berlin . The couple's three sons were forced to come to Silesia because of their mother's inheritance. The goods there were Karlshof ( Beuthen ), Gwoździany ( Lublinitz ), Krampf ( Sprottau ) and Zborowski (Lublinitz). Antoine's son Karl (born April 27, 1748 - † May 4, 1821 at Castle Reißen in the Archduchy of Posen ) continued the family. He was a Prussian chamberlain and landowner and married Marianna Albertina on July 12, 1774 (born February 8, 1756 in Bischofswerder ; † July 24, 1811 in Tarnowitz ), a daughter of the Baron and Prussian Major General Otto Ernst von Gersdorf (1710–1773), Granddaughter of Count Karl Joseph Henckel von Donnersmarck .
