I concluded in my genealogical search that among families with Konstantynowicz surname which live in Poland are two or three separate groups:
The eldest information about a Konstantynowicz nickname, but not about the Fox coat of arms (crest), go back to 07 October 1515 (according to Jan Ciechanowicz) and to the Hrodna area:
Jakub (= Jakov) Konstantynowicz sued to a court his neighbour Tolloczko. His relative surely Olechno Konstantynowicz held a post in the Hrodna municipal tribunal in 1539. He sued his neighbour Dowtortowicz in 1542. The Konstantynowiczs - both of above mentioned - were the landowners of their Duke. Then the nest of them was in villages Toloczki, Ejsmonty and Jurewicze in the Hrodna region (probably since c. 1500) and they were knighted in 1578 with the Pielesz diverse coat of arms.
We are lacking information that they had the Fox coat of arms proper already and I don't know if the Konstantynowicz nickname was the surname in anyone case in the beginning of the 16th cent.! Or it maybe the Konstantynowicz name was only an "otchestvo" (by-name) id est a form deriving from Konstanty or Konstantyn names with oriental ending "wicz" (= vich). However it's not unlikely that Jakub was a father of Olechno and Michno Konstantynowicz but there is no probability on proved of the thesis. Michno and Olechno that's very popular form of Belorussian names with ending "-no" and "-ko" in the 15th and 16th cent.; I give others examples: Senko Miloszewicz from Ostryna 1528, Iwanko and Misko Miloszewicz in Podlasie, Mitko from Vicebsk = Vitsyebsk (or Witebsk) province in 1528, Michno Lyszczynski in 1528, Michno Polanski 1515, Mleczko from Vilkmerge 1467, Piotr Olechnowicz (surname from Christian name of father) 1501, Senko Mikolajewicz 1514, Szymko Mikolajewicz from Upita, Jacko son of Mikula Wasilkowicz A.D. 1525, Mitko (= Mikolaj) Mickiewicz with Fox arms et ceteri and also little villages exempli gratia Olechnowszczyzna in the Minsk province; besides I found out about Dmitrei son of Konstantin in the 15th century, Polut Konstiantinowic' mid 15th century, Kostiantinowic' Semen mid 15th century, Chebotko Konstiantinow in 1540 and Fedor Konstentinow son of Spits 1552, a clerk in Wisztyniec - Michal Konstantynowicz Sumorok A.D. 1571, Iwan Konstantynowicz from Kulbaczyna in 1572 (but with Mackowicz surname nicknamed Kulbaka or Mackiewicz), Jaroslaw Konstantynowicz (but with Lukomski surname 1595). I was faced with the difficult task of collecting information and differing interpretations about origin of our ancestry. One has to be careful with final claims and theses for some years and in passing judgement on first person with the Konstantynowicz surname. A person with a Konstantynowicz nickname in the first half of the 16th cent. didn't has to be the person with the Konstantynowicz surname. I called it purposely to the attention of you. The Konstantynowicz ancestry with the Fox coat of arms proper lived only in the Trakai district (i.e. district of Troki since c. 1550), the Samaites territory (since c. 1550) and in the Minsk province (since c. 1570) by c. 1600 (next in the Slonim area after c. 1600; also in Vilna / Wilno since c. 1640) as good as proves it all armorials. One of string evidences say us for example that the record of common noble movement A.D. 1528 doesn't point to persons with the Konstantynowicz surname in any districts of Lithuania (Grand Principality of Lithuania) according to all historical sources.

A legend was about the beginning of the Konstantynowicz family. Many said that our family (ancestry) has come from the BALKANS according to "Gutenberg Encyclopaedia" (volume 8); many said that the ancestry had got to descent from Serbian ancestor (janczar), who was Turkish soldier 1455 - 1463, who was afterwards in Poland (that is since 1470 or 1471); he has written memoirs here (1490-1516 or rather 1496 - 1501) about title "(...) the Turkish chronicle (...)". A copy was in the Sapieha Archive. More inf. on the same Turkish soldier - Michal Konstantynowicz in F. Bujak, "Studia geograf.-hist.", p. 129 - 134. The main editions of "(...) the Turkish chronicle (...)" in 1828 and 1912 misleaded many of our ancestors. The Kibalczyc family i.e. Kibalcicas have got a legend that tell us about an ancestor from Serbia - the family moved out to the Chernigov province in the Grand duchy of Lithuania in the 17th century - the legend it's mistake, too. |
|
Descendants of the Konstantynowicz family who derived from present Bukovina (Bukovina joined Austrian Empire in 1775 but it seems to be probable they moved house here from the Austria - Hungarys Volhynia after the 1st Partition of Poland, precisely in the eighties of the 18th century) at the border Ukraine on Roumania; it was the Greek church family in the 19th century perhaps and they (regarded as - in part, by authorities - Ukrainians) were displaced partially to the Mazury / East Prussia after 1945. Most of them live today in south - easterly Poland. You see also about village Zydowskie = Shydovskie where Michajlo Konstantynowicz lived and who was born 1790; his father was priest and mother - Maria Wapnicki - derived from Desznica i.e Deshnica; and about Emilian Konstantynowicz b. 1864, d. 1943, priest in 1887. They had own GRECUL (i.e. GREKUL armorial bearings but own GREK arms was Lithuanian origin, according to Mieroszowski) coat of arms in time of the Austria - Hungarys Galicia at the beginning of the 19th cent. (Bazyli and Michal Konstantynowicz 1803). I take note of them in ODESSA, Tschernowzy (= Chernovits) in 1939 - 1940 and in Kiev after the second World War and besides e.g. |
|
"Officials in 1876" note in Bukovina: "(...) Konopasek Emanuel, Konstantinowicz von Grekul Gedeon, Landes-Hauptmann Stellvertreter (...)" and "Franz Josef- Staatsgymnasium in Sereth": "(...) Kasriel Josef, Klocek Stanislaus Josef, Kohn Julius, Konstantinowicz, Ewald Ludwig Franz (...)". See: http://bukowina.info/FJSereth.pdf |
|
Florin Konstantinowicz / Constantinovici from Roumania (Romania) was in Israel (the Tsafririm Holon team in 2001 - 2002). |
In all probability our ancestry with the Konstantynowicz surname derived from belorussian Czyz family i.e. Senko Czyzewicz and his son Konstanty Czyz, I think. The Lithuanian - Byelorussian nobility was polonised as early as the 16th century (generally speaking, the ethnically non Polish noble families of Belarus adopted the Polish language and culture but only Byelorussian was official language of the Grand duchy of Lithuania in the 14th - 17th centuries till 1697) and converted from the Orthodoxy to Roman Catholicism. The Czyz family used the coat of arms of FOX proper since
1534
id est Marcin Konstantynowicz Czyz from Nieciecza
either Marcin Czyz Konstantynowicz from Nieczyca
or Marcin Czyz Nieczycki (or Nietecki because different opinions have been passed upon him; more inf. on the Fox coat of arms in Lithuania and Belarus, see: the Fox crest) who was born probably c. 1495.
The royal courtier Marcin Konstantynowicz Czyz from Nieciecza according to:
|
Niesiecki 1839 Czarniecki 1875 Boniecki 1901 Leszczyc 1908/13, page 210 historical magazine of 1914 historical magazine of April 1938 (number 4/17, page 49) Dymmel of 1995. |
Konstantynowicz Czyz unknown of name (either Konstantinowicz who was born c. 1530 or the probability is that Michno Konstantynowicz / Miknos Konstantinoviciaus) was missed out in the last will and testament of his father
1547
and devoid of a legacy which daughter
Margaret
inherited;
she had got some brothers. Another
lawsuits
were also at that time: lady Katarzyna Czyz - Boguszewski vs.
her sons i.e. the sons of Stanislaw Wojciechowicz Czyzewicz or Czyz in 1546
and
at the same time Jan Czyzewicz son of Jurij and his wife Hanna nee
Narbut vs. Aleksander Czyzewicz son of Wojciech in 1547.
Part of the Czyz family from neighbourhood of Lida (either Nietiacz, Nieciecz, Nieciecza, Nieczyca or Nietiaz near to Dubrovny and farther Lipniszki, 9 km from Lida)
c. 1550
|
have accepted the Konstantynowicz surname (from Christian name of father according to Leszczyc of 1908/13; Konstiantin or Kostiantin = Konstantin that is "steadfast, constant") adopting the armorial bearings of FOX proper and moved out to the Samaites territory and also to the Trakai district, and after from here to the Minsk province circa 1570 |
I don't know surely where did Michno = Michal / Miknos Konstantinoviciaus come from. I don't know doubtless if exactly Michno was stripped of the assets by his sister in 1547. But then Miknos Konstantinoviciaus / Konstantinovicius - nobleman from Zaleskovscizna / Zaleskowszczyzna - was founder of Roman Catholic church in Krikstonys 1562 Settlement Krikstonys in Lithuania now, in subdistrict Norageliai, county Alytus / Olita, now the parish of Christ the King in Krikstonys 67252, phone 31847893; Post Office in Krikstonys, LT - 67014, Lazdijai / Lozdzee / Lozdzieje District Municipality. Krikstonys is 18,5 km SW of Alytus - near by Zilviciai, Gudonys, Dubravai and Lizdai; 2,5 km West of Nemunas and 5 km SE of Norageliai.

In reality just famous
Michno Konstantynowicz / Miknos Konstantinoviciaus / Michal Konstantinovicius
received a big estate, an arable ground and forested land from the king Sigismund Augustus on
04 January 1554
i.e. the Merkine farmland or
Merecz Michnowski
was situated in the Merkine area, Merkine parish (= Merecz, Meretium or Merken area in the Troki district in the ex-province of Troki; a chief officer for life of the Merkine area was Jan Janowicz Zabrzezinski / Zaberezenski since 1536; the Junowicz family lived close by Merkine - see also: the Pileszyszki estate), beside the Niemen river (Neman or Nemunas), next to estuary of Merkys = Mereczanka river
and the same Michno possessed a landed property
Zaleskowszczyzna / Zaleskovscizna
49 km N-W-N of Lida in the Troki or Trakai district, too (close by a south - easterly border of the former Trakai district) as early as
1552
and it seems he owned Merkine (2nd) farmland in addition id est
Merecz Michnowo
upstream of Merkys river in the Turgeliai parish, 38 km S-E-S of Vilnius. Zaleskowszczyzna, Merecz Michnowski, Ulkiszki, settlement Krikstonys and Merecz Michnowo are situated at the territory of independent, since 1918 (1940 - 1991 occupied), Republic of Lithuania. We set out to the authority in Vilna on 19 May 1842 original of the privilege edited by the king to MICHNO Konstantynowicz who was endowed with estate in the Merecz area on 04 January 1554 and many of documents of 18th cent.

The Konstantynowicz family used POCHOWICZ by-name (or Pohozy, Pohosha, Pohowicz, Rokoz, Rohoza and Pokoz nicknames, information of 1937) at first in the Minsk province since A.D. 1600. It was a certain Rohoza family in the Orsa district and Verchnjadzvinsk (i.e. Dryssa) region A.D. 1602/1643 but it's not our line |

c. 25 August 1601 |
A certain judicial document from the district of Trakai (i.e. Troki) tell us about noblemen, Jan Sobolewski of Busilolisdy by Kraksznia river near by Urkiszki and Stanislaw Kiszka, who litigated against a neighbour from Lachowicze due to the same taken away a little ground in 1600; the landowner called Pavel i.e. Pawel Konstantynowicz, Matys Gozdziewski and Stefan Stankiewicz in evidence at the end of August 1601; we read in the document about neighbours: Koklin family and Jan Sowgowicz, and also about a functionary from Trakai, Jan Stanislawowicz from Bogdanowicze village; the document signed in Urkiszki, and above village Urkiszki i.e. Ulkiszki was situated only 1 km NW of Rudziszki (i.e. Rudiskes, Lithuania now). |

07 March 1643 |
Mikolay Pohosha Konstantynowicz was rewarded a privilege in the Minsk province handed over to him by the king Vladislav IV Vasa. Bonifacy 1st Konstantynowicz derived from above mentioned Mikolay. |

- Augustin / Augustyn Rokoz Konstantynowicz (Augustyn was a clerk of the Lithuanian military confederation since 1661 by 1667 and after a special envoy of Michal Pac to Moscow to ask tsar Aleksei / Aleksey to put up his son Feodor / Fiodor III as a candidate to Polish election; the municipal and territorial writer in the Mscislau province, born c. 1635, had died 1713 or before 1713)

- Franciszek
Rohoza Konstantynowicz near
of kin with Holynski family
from Soino (either Big Soino or Voronove
Slobody near by a farm of Mielkovka = Mietkowka), and his
siblings and
Hurko family
also (from
Krotowsza otherwise
called Krynki or Krotovshe that belonged to Romejko - Hurko
family in the
Orsa district) were
in trouble for this reason with Holynski (Kazimierz
son of Stefan Kazimierz Holynski from Chlyszczewo i.e.
Chwostowo close by border between Belarus and Russia,
from Soino and Uszpol) family
after
1714.
The above Soino is
situated 18 km east away from Mscislau, at territory of
Russia now
i.e. 7 km from present border; it was the Grand duchy of Lithuania 1359 - 1772 and
next in Russia:
the Mstislavl
district, Soino region
= "volost" that is similar to county, in a parish of Mscislau (archbishopric
of Mahileu, in the Mscislau - Klimavicy catholic area were three
parishes: Lozovica, Mscislau and Smolensk in the
19th cent.);
one our leg lived in the territory of present Belarus, but the second
one stood at the present land of
Russia in
borders after 1992. A fortunes of Poles in this remote easterly
territories of the former Both Nations Republic turned out differently
than by Vistula, because not a few Poles had got to choose military
service in the Russian Army since the end of the 18th cent. or they
worked as engineers in different corners of former Russia since second
half of the 19th century.
- Antoni Konstantynowicz signed the Second Manifesto of Lithuanian Nobility in 1763
- Dominik Konstantynowicz was born in the Mahileu (either Mogiliow or Mogiljow by Dnepr, Mogilev = Mahilyow by Dnieper, Moghilev) Government in Russia near by Krycau / Krychaw c. 1805.
