The tangled lot
of the noble family
KONSTANTYNOWICZ
from
Belorussia
© Author Bogdan Konstantynowicz from Lodz
I concluded in my genealogical search that among families of Konstantynowicz who live in Poland are three separate groups:
Ancestry of the family Konstantynowicz who derived from present BUKOVINA (1775 to Austrian Empire) at the border Ukraine on Roumania; they were (in XIX century) the Greek church perhaps and after 1945 they regarded as (in part, by authorities) Ukrainians and were displaced (partially) to the Mazury (East Prussia). Most of them live today in south - easterly Poland. They had own coat of arms GRECUL (GREKUL) in time of the Austria - Hungarys’ Galicia at the beginning of XIX cent. (Bazyli and Michal Konstantynowicz 1803). I take note of them in ODESSA and Tschernowzy (= Chernovits) 1939 - 1940 and KIEV (data from Internet) after the second World War.

Probably our ancestry with the name of Konstantynowicz derive from belorussian family (Senko Czyzewicz and his son Konstanty Czyz) Czyz; Polish as early as the 16th century and professing catholicism, owned 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) who was born c. 1495.
Konstantynowicz Czyz unknown of name (or Konstantinowicz who was born c. 1530 or Michno Konstantynowicz ?) was withdrawn in the last will and testament of his father of
1547
and destitute of a legacy which daughter Margaret inherited; she had got some brothers.
Part of these Czyz from neighbourhood of LIDA (either Nieciecz or Nieczyca 9 km from Lida)
c. 1550
have accepted the surname Konstantynowicz (from Christian name of father according to Leszczyc 1908/13) adopting the armorial bearings of FOX proper and moved out to the Trakai district and thence to the MINSK province
c. 1570.
A famous
Michno Konstantynowicz
received the big estate, an arable ground and forested land from the king Sigismund Augustus on
04 January 1554
i.e. the farmland
Merecz Michnowski
and the same Michno possessed a landed property
Zaleskowszczyzna
49 km N-W-N of Lida in the Troki district, too (close by a south - easterly border of the former Trakai district) as early as
1552
and it seems he owned a farmland Merkine in addition id est
Merecz Michnowo
by initial course of Merkys river in the Turgeliai parish, 38 km S-E-S of Vilnius.
This fact noted down in armorials of the Grand duchy of Lithuania:
1578 Konstantinowicz who was born c. 1530
1584 Michal Konstantynowic
1648 Konstantinowicz or Konstantynowicz
The family Konstantynowicz used the call POCHOWICZ (or the Pohozy, Pohosha, Pohowicz, Rohoz, Rokoz and Pokoz nicknames, information of 1937) at first in the Minsk province, Belorussia since A.D.
1600
Mikolay Pohosha Konstantynowicz has got a privilege in the Minsk province handed over to him by the king Vladislav IV Vasa on
07 March 1643
Just after
1661
they partly moved house to the East Belorussia in the MSCISLAU province near to:
KRYCAU = Kritschew or Kritchev, MSCISLAU = Mstislavl (next of kins the Golynskij or Holynski family; kin to family Hurko; neighbourhood: families Hryniewicz or Gryniewicz = Grinevicius, Hrynkiewicz or Grinkevicius in Iwanowszczyzna, Halko (Galkus), Goluchowski or Goluchovskis in the Mscislau province of 1669, Myszkowski or Miskauskas arms Jastrzebiec, Petryzycki or Pietrazycki, Oleszkowski, Olesza, Skorupa, Dudka, Oziemblowski, Woroniec, Kisiel, Romanowski, Pleskaczewski, Ostrowski, Mezynski, Gorski or Horski of 1654/1663 and Madalinski) and in the region northwards of MSCISLAU (the villages Samava = Chamovo at the map of 1834, Kopceuka, Niesterevo – the Berezetnia estate), where Swedes looted them estates during campaign of Charles XII in summer A.D.
1708.
The family Konstantynowicz from eastern Belorussia (near to Krycau – Antoni 2nd Konstantynowicz was born c. 1833, Mscislau, Samava) is my ancestors.
1772
this territory was already in Russia, as the Government of Mahileu after the 1st Partition of POLAND, I am afraid.
They partly have moved out to the easternmost parts of the MINSK government to the Berezino parish after
c. 1840
id est in the villages BOROVINA and MIEZONKA (the village is situated 28 kilometres south - east of Berazino = Beresino either Byerazino or Berezina).
Below East of Berezino (the © German map of 1943)

(surprise – enlargement needs to be done;

MIEZONKA
was situated in the Ihumen district i.e. in the GOVERNMENT OF MINSK, the parish of BERAZINO or BERESINO, the POHOST or Pogost region = Pogostskaya "volost" that is similar to county; PRECINCT BERAZINO = Uchastok No 2: Uyrevichskaya, Pogostskaya and the Belichanskaya volost; near to villages DULEBO (= Duleby, Duleba) and DRUCZANY; here Stanislaw Konstantynowicz born c. 1855 + Anna Malkiewicz daughter of Konstancja Brzezinski from the “Polish Livland” = Livonia (more information: http://us.geocities.com/bogdanbogdan2003d).
I search for all information about the village MIEZONKA where my grandfather was born on 23 April 1898 or 23 April 1900 (as a matter of fact my grandfather's name was Jerzy Konstantynowicz, he had pseudonym A. either Antoni or Antoni Stanislaw Stankiewicz born 15.05.1900, son of Konstantynowicz who lived in Petersburg since c. 1911 / 1912); at present Belorussia (Belarus’), the Bjalynicy (= Belynichi) region in the Mahileu (= the Mogilev province) "oblast"; the village is situated among grand forest and southwards was big marsh - Miezonka was at a territory of enormous estates the Radzivilles before A.D. 1842.

and lived in Vilna in the early 20th century (Piotr Konstantynowicz son of Gustaw - Piotr was married to Maria W.);
in Pinsk (Konstantynowicz Konstantyn),
Grodno (Hrodna),
near to Dzjatlava = Zdzieciol (the village Gronsk)
and west of LIDA (the places Maluki, Zabalac
