Michal Konstantynowicz Czyz / Marcin Konstantynowicz Czyz from Nieciecza in 1534 (acc to Boniecki 1901; Niesiecki 1839) or Czyz took the Fox arms; he was from Nieczyca (Belorussia, south-east to Grodno); either Czyzewicz or Cizevicius since 1415, e.g. Juszko Czyz in 1454, Senko Czyzewicz inf. in 1485, Bazyli Czyz an officer in Krycau / Krzyczew in 1522, Andrzej Czyzewicz or Czyzewski an owner of the Czyzewszczyzna farm in the Trakai province; related to Kurylowicz house or Kurilavicius with the arms of Korczak in the Dzisna district; among others they possessed Roh Wielki farm in the Homel district, 103 ha., in the 19th cent.; Nieczycki either Nieczyski or Nietecki - related to Czyz family, acc to Gerbovnik belaruskoj szlachty, by T. Kapica, A. Leuczyk, S. Rybczonak, ed. in 2002, t. 1, p. 493. In 1536/1537 we have Konstantynowicz in East Belarus: inf. on Kostientinawicz [but this is maybe 'otczestwo'] and for the first time information on Michal Konstantinowicz in Lithuania and Belorussia of 1552. Michno = Michal come from [Miknos Konstantinoviciaus - nobleman from Zaleskovscizna = Zaleskowszczyzna - was founder of Catholic church in settlement Krikstonys in Lithuania now, subdistrict Norageliai, municipality Lazdijai = Lozdzee = Lozdzieje, in county of Alytus = OLITA, circa 1562; Miknos Konstantinovicius = Michno Konstantinoviciaus in Lithuania = Michal Konstantynowicz / Kostentinowicz / Kostientinawicz] the Czyz family of Nieciecza. Michno was stripped of the assets by his sister in 1547. The Konstantynowicz ancestry with the Fox coat of arms proper lived only in the Trakai district i.e. district of Troki and in the Samaites territory since c. 1550, and also in the Minsk province since c. 1570 [Zaleskowszczyzna close to Holszany in 1552 and Buchta / Baguta]; next in the Slonim area after c. 1600 [in Nieciecza as the Czyz family and then with surname Konstantynowicz aft. 1547]; also in Vilna = Wilno since c. 1601/1640 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 according to all historical sources. The Konstantynowiczs took Merkine in 1554. Inf. on our family in 1578 in Belarus.
This webapage is under copyright by Bogdan Konstantynowicz on 21 March 2026 and I show to you Bogdan Konstantynowicz's fighting with the Lodz counter-intelligence, SWL security agency, Jewish-marxist underground, and Soviet intelligence net of Lodz, intelligence Colonel Adam Ostoja Owsiany of Lodz, Minister of Foreign Affairs Witold Waszczykowski of Piotrkow Trybunalski, counter-intelligence official in Warsaw Monika Sedzicka.
Compare Bogdan Konstantynowicz's life, activities and my family which came from
famous Michno Konstantynowicz b. ca 1520/1530 [in Nieciecza near Lunna and close to Kwasowka, south-east to Grodno], 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 Konstantynowicz/Michal Konstantynowicz possessed a landed property Zaleskowszczyzna in 1552 close to Holszany. Michno Konstantynowicz was the founder of the Catholic church in KRIKSTONYS, west to Merkine. His ancestor was Marcin Konstantynowicz Czyz from Nieciecza granted in 1534 (acc. to Boniecki 1901; Niesiecki 1839) the Fox coat of arms. Nieciecza = Nieczyca (Belorussian); the Czyz family either Czyzewicz or Cizevicius. The Konstantynowiczs = the Czyz family have accepted the Konstantynowicz surname (from Christian name of father according to Leszczyc ed. in 1908/1913; 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 (Merkine), and after from here to the Minsk province circa 1570. Michno was stripped of the assets by his sister in 1547.
But then Miknos Konstantinoviciaus / Konstantinovicius - nobleman from Merkine and of Zaleskovscizna / Zaleskowszczyzna - was the founder of Roman Catholic church in Krikstonys in 1562.
Settlement Krikstonys in Lithuania now, in subdistrict Norageliai, county Alytus / Olita, now the parish of Christ the King in Krikstonys, 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 which 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 close to Holszany 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 and in Belarus. 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 century.
We were living ca 1550 in the Raseiniai region i.e. Rosienie / Rossienie in the Samaites territory: the Poszeszow estate in the middle of the 16th century.
In 1598, Piotr / Petrus Konstantynowicz was in France and Perugia (a province of Umbrien in Italy) according to "Lista degli scolari (...)".
In 1600 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 my line.
On 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).
On 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 Konstantynowicz b. ca 1750 derived from above mentioned Mikolay Konstantynowicz of Baguta/Bahuta, 22 km west to Smolewicze.
In March 2026 I can confirm that Michno Konstantynowicz owned Merecz Michnowo that is Merecz Michnowski = MERKINE village, 6 kilometers north-east to Merkine town, southern Lithuania at present. Michno / Michal Konstantynowicz took from the King also Zaleskowszczyzna in 1552. Michno Konstantynowicz was the landlord of Zaleskowszczyzna situated in Belarus, the Holszany district in 1552.
This is not PODLINIA = Zaleskowszczyzna, in the Borysow county in the 19th century; and not NW to Lida.
Our Zaleskowszczyzna is situated 2 km south-east to EIGERDY;
Zaleskovshchina/Zaleskauschina, is situated 12 km to Woldziki, and 13 km to Bakszty/Bakshty.
Above EIGERDY belonged now to the Iwye District = Aigard/Aigardus, maybe of Marcjan Eigerd fought in 1605 close to Kircholm; his brother Pawel Eigerd in 1609 and 1611 fought at Smolensk; Michal Eigerd was the Oszmiany official in 1678.
Our Zaleskowszczyzna close to Holszany and her Helena Dubrowicka m. in 1525 to Pawel Sapieha; the Sapieha family took Holszany, and Kazimierz Sapieha died in 1639, Tomasz Sapieha died in 1646 lived in Holszany. The catsle was built in 1610 by Pawel Stefan Sapieha, with the Fox coat of arms like Michno Konstantynowicz of Nieciecza [this estate belonged to the Czyz family and the Konstantynowiczs till 1558]. Pawel Stefan Sapieha b. 1565, d. 1635 in Holszany, the son of Bohdan Sapieha died in 1593; he fought in 1565-1567. Bohdan was the son of Pawel Sapieha died in 1579.
But we can NOT connect a Serbian ancestor (likely Michal Konstantynowicz the 1st acc to the legend, a 'janczar' of Bosnia in the Greater Serbia - acc to my research in Dec. 2025/March 2026), b. ca 1432 (?), who was Turkish soldier, with our ancestor Senko Czyzewicz b. ca 1450 (NOT in Bosnia-Serbia maybe) and his son Konstanty Czyz b. ca 1470/1471 (in Poland, the Grodno district, NOT around Lida). Named Konstanty Czyz was born in Poland.
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: bukowina.info/FJSereth.pdf.
Florin Konstantinowicz / Constantinovici from Roumania (Romania) was in Israel (the Tsafririm Holon team in 2001 - 2002).
Acc to F. Bujak, above soldier-'janczar' was afterwards in Poland (that is since 1470 or 1471). But Senko was born in Lithuania and NOT in Serbia-Bosnia. The Czyz family was Polish-Belarusian as early as the 16th century and professing catholicism, owned arms of FOX proper since 1534 id est Marcin Konstantynowicz Czyz from Nieciecza (b. ca 1495) took the coat of arms in the Grodno district.
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 of Bosnia in the Greater Serbia maybe), b. ca 1432 (?), 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.
Bogdan Konstantynowicz's family came from the CZYZ family with the Fox coat of arms in 1530s in the Grodno-Mereczanka area in north-west Belarus on the Lithuanian border at present - I confirm (acc to Leszczyc's book in 1908/1913). They moved home to Zaleskowszczyzna in 1552 close to Holszany. The Konstantynowiczs moved to the Minsk province in 1570s - that is the part of these Czyz (together with Michno Konstantynowicz b. ca 1520/1530 = Michal Konstantynowicz) from neighbourhood of GRODNO (NOT Nieciecz or Nieczyca, 9 km from Lida) that is from the Lunna commune south-east to Grodno; they ca 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 (the Merkine farm close to Merkine town in 1554) and thence to the MINSK province ca 1570/1571 (Buchta = Baguta).
Acc to Bogdan Konstantynowicz in March 2026, above Nieciecza is situated [Nieciecza/Nietieczy or Niaceczi south-east to Grodno], close to Kwasowka, the Indura parish of Ortodox church, the Lasza commune or the Lunna commune, in 1558 owned by the Krasnickis [from hands of the Konstantynowiczs-Czyz], in the 19th century to the Klukowski family; in 1641 - here Mikolaj Swiacki and Marcin Sukiewicz, noble family in the 17th century. Probably here in Nieciecza was living Senko Czyzewicz after 1471. The Czyz and the Konstantynowicz families were living in Nieicecza ca 1450 till 1558.
A famous Michno Konstantynowicz b. ca 1520/1530 [in Nieciecza near Lunna and close to Kwasowka], 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/Merkine farm
and the same Michno Konstantynowicz/Michal Konstantynowicz possessed a landed property Zaleskowszczyzna close to Holszany. Named Merecz Michnowo (in 1554) that is Merecz Michnowski = MERKINE village, 6 kilometers north-east to Merkine town, southern Lithuania at present. Michno / Michal Konstantynowicz took from the King also Zaleskowszczyzna. Michno Konstantynowicz was the landlord of Zaleskowszczyzna situated in Belarus, the Holszany district in 1552.
This is not PODLINIA = Zaleskowszczyzna, in the Borysow county in the 19th century; and not NW to Lida.
Our Zaleskowszczyzna is situated 2 km south-east to EIGERDY;
Zaleskovshchina/Zaleskauschina, is situated 12 km to Woldziki, and 13 km to Bakszty/Bakshty.
Above EIGERDY belonged now to the Iwye District = Aigard/Aigardus, maybe of Marcjan Eigerd fought in 1605 close to Kircholm.
And it seems MICHNO Konstantynowicz owned a farmland Merkine in addition but this is NOT Merecz Michnowo by initial course of Merkys river in the Turgeliai parish, 38 km S-E-S of Vilnius [Michno Konstantynowicz owned Merecz Michnowo that is Merecz Michnowski = MERKINE village, 6 kilometers north-east to Merkine town, southern Lithuania at present].
Michno's son was born ca 1550 (unknown first name, but he was the first with nickname Pohozy in the Minsk prowince in 1600 - Zaleskowszczyzna close to Holszany in 1552; Buchta / Baguta in 1570s); the grandson was Mikolaj Konstantynowicz Pohoza b. ca 1590 (Buhta / Baguta / Babianowszczyzna).
This fact noted down in armorials of the Grand duchy of Lithuania:
in 1578, Konstantinowicz who was born ca 1520/1530 = Michno Konstantynowicz;
in 1584, Michal Konstantynowic = Michno Konstantynowicz b. ca 1520/1530;
in 1648, Konstantinowicz or Konstantynowicz = Mikolaj Konstantynowicz b. ca 1590.
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.
Our ancestry with the name of Konstantynowicz derive from belorussian family (Senko Czyzewicz b. ca 1450 and his son Konstanty Czyz b. ca 1470) 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 (b. ca 1495 - here till 1558)
either Marcin Czyz Konstantynowicz from Nieczyca
or Marcin Czyz Nieczycki (or Nietecki) who was born ca 1495.
Konstantynowicz Czyz unknown of name (or Konstantinowicz who was born ca 1520/1530 or Michno Konstantynowicz = Michal Konstantynowicz, the son of Marcin Czyz Nietecki b. ca 1495) was withdrawn in the last will and testament of his father of 1547 and destitute of a legacy which daughter Margaret / Malgorzata Czyz inherited; she had got some brothers.
When Augustyn Konstantynowicz moved home ca 1660/1660 to the Mscislau district, the others of the Konstantynowicz family lived in the central MINSK province continuously in the Babianowszczyzna village i.e. Buchta since 1570s; in Little Loszyca (Loszyce) in the Koroliszczewice parish - region of Siennica (the estate of Siennica was pawned and at a later date also sold by Stefan Dostojewski to duke Piotr Gorski son of Hryhory at the end of 16th cent.); in Koroleszczenicze (i.e. Koroliszczewice or Karoliszczewicze at the map of 1859) and others. They came from Mikolay Pohosha Konstantynowicz b. ca 1590, inf. as early as 1643 and Jan Konstantynowicz inf. in 1698 (b. ca 1670 - the son of Augustyn Konstantynowicz);
following Jan Konstantynowicz was born in the Minsk province (b. ca 1700/1705) at the beginning of the 18th cent. and possessed here the village Buchta = Baguta/Babianowszczyzna, the son of Jan Konstantynowicz older b. ca 1670.
We possessed in part a landed property Pileszyszki in the Kaunas district / the Kovno region in the 18th cent. (1766 bequeathed by lady Junowicz), here lived Maciej Konstantynowicz;
the same Maciej Konstantynowicz had brothers: Pavel / Pawel Konstantynowicz, Samuel Konstantynowicz, Bazyli Konstantynowicz, Antoni Konstantynowicz b. ca 1725. In the Minsk province in Koroleszczenicze (= the parish of Koreliszczewicze / Koroleszczenicze) near to Minsk and we owned the holding Little Loszyca next to Koroleszczenicze; we were in the Buchta estate (i.e. Bahuta at the map of 1859, Baguta or Babianowszczyzna in the parish of Luzki that is Lushki west of Smolewicze or Smaljavicy / Smolevichi - in 1570s), here Jan Konstantynowicz b. ca 1700/1705, and his sons: Maciej, Pawel, Samuel, Bazyli, Antoni (b. in 1720s), Franciszek and Marcin in the first half of the 18th century. According to dresselgenealogy.us, in 1774 Jan Konstantynowicz [b. ca 1700/1705] was residing in Stashynki / Starzynki / Stashynek (Jan was born ca 1700/1705), and he witnessed to an attempt on Jerzy Dreszel = Dressel; he was giving the names of the people involved in it: Alexander and Konstancya HORAIN WOYSKI / Harain Wojski (they have told that the duce Woronecki tries to include Stashynek / Starzynek in the County of Koydanov / Kojdanow, SW of Minsk, and that he means to take over the estate by force from Horain Woyski). Jan Konstantynowicz was one of the willing to help for Dressel. His neighbours: Tadeusz Rutski / Rucki, Antoni Borowski, Jan Oskirka Zienkiewicz / Jan Oskierka, Jan Daszkiewicz and Mikolaj Downar.
Our property Karoliszczewicze / Koraliszczewicze, close to Nowy Dwor, 19 km south-east to the Minsk core.
Above Smalyavichy or Smolevichi / Smolewicze is a town in Minsk Region, ex-Radziwilles estate, 50 km north-east to Minsk Litewski / Minsk in Belarus.
Our property Baguta / Bahuta is situated 22 km west to Smolewicze.
Some geographical explanation for you:
Sierhiejewicze [near KOROLISZCZEWICZE our property], the estate in the Ihumen county [see Konstantynowicz, Szostak, Wankowicz, Ipohorski]; the Minsk governorate, by the Mucha lake; the landlords here: Zaranek; Prozor; Bukaty [Franciszek Bukaty the last Polish envoy to England]; Lipski [see Stara SWOLNA - MALKIEWICZ here]; Jelski.
Sierhiejewicze, the estate in the Ihumen county, in the MINSK governorate, in the Citwa borough, the Puchowicze district; south-west to Ihumen / C'erven. Close to DUKORA and UBIEL of the OGINSKIS and south to KOROLISZCZEWICZE / Karoliszczewicze [the parish] of the Konstantynowiczs.
CITWA - the first to the Janiszewski; in 1917 to Melchior Janiszewski. 1919-1921 Citwa in POLAND. Citwa / TSITVA, 6 km south to Rudziensk, by the Ptycz river.
Rusakowicze - 5 km south to Tsitva.
Siergiejewicze / Sergeyevichi / Sierhiejewicze - close to Prystan / PRZYSTAN; and to Rusakovichi, Praudzinski; 10 km north-east to Shatsk / SZACK; 12 km south-west to CITWA / Tsitva; west to MARINA HORKA. In Siergiejewicze, BARBARA Prozor (b. ca 1770) was living.
All descendants with the Fox proper coat of arms (and probably with the Bowel(s), Three Crosses and Radwan armorial bearings, too) and with our Konstantynowicz surname in the 17th cent. came from Michno Konstantynowicz.
In the region of Brest in 1664, Jedrzej Konstantynowicz i.e. Andrew Konstantynowicz was the mayor of Brest and Roman Konstantynowicz was a priest of the Greek Church in Jelna A.D. 1667 - as far as I know Jelnia i.e. Jelna was situated about 12 km away from Scucyn.
And Mscislau after ca 1660.
And in the SLONIM district was living Hermogen Konstantynowicz who wrote down in tribunal documents together with his neighbour Mizgier (Mizgier family lived also in Perepeczyn and Kolyszki in the Lida region A.D. 1608) in 1603,
and also Michal Konstantynowicz - he signed the Olkienicka Alliance in 1698 and had the Radwan coat of arms with Plavski by-name; the Arcimowicz family had also the Plavski nickname in a Braslau area, inf. of 1698 and 1763.

Berezyna -
here you can to acquaint with information about former Ihumen district and with data on the Polish in the parish of Berezino. Here there are details about Brzezinski family from Livland. It's a large part devoted to Polish senior officers in Tsarist Army and which next served for the 1st Polish Corps in Belarus in 1917 - 1918. Here you can to read about the Balachowicz's troops (Corps in 1920) - English version.

A lot of the "Balachowiczs" were employed in Hajnowka, Bialowieza and Bielsk.
MIEZONKA -
in the Ihumen district [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) and DRUCZANY;
here Stanislaw Konstantynowicz born c. 1855 + Anna Malkiewicz, the daughter of Konstancja Brzezinski from the Polish Livland / Livonia].
I search for all information about the village MIEZONKA where my grandfather was in 1918, but Jerzy born on 23 April 1898 either 1897 in Tallinn. Miezonka at present Belarus: the Bjalynicy (= Belynichi) region in the Mahileu (= the Mogilev or Mahilyow province) "oblast"; the village is situated among grand forest and southwards was big marsh - Miezonka was at a territory of the Radzivilles enormous estates before A.D. 1842; ask you about information.
We back to the Czyz family (together with Michno Konstantynowicz b. ca 1520/1530 = Michal Konstantynowicz) from neighbourhood of Grodno - Nieczyca south-east to Grodno. Part of the Czyz family ca 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 ca 1570.
A famous Michno Konstantynowicz b. ca 1520/1530, 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. A famous Michno Konstantynowicz b. ca 1520/1530 [in Nieciecza near Lunna and close to Kwasowka], 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 / Merkine or Merecz farm
and the same Michno Konstantynowicz/Michal Konstantynowicz possessed a landed property Zaleskowszczyzna and Merecz Michnowo that is Merecz Michnowski = MERKINE village, 6 kilometers north-east to Merkine town, southern Lithuania at present. Michno / Michal Konstantynowicz took from the King also Zaleskowszczyzna. Michno Konstantynowicz was the landlord of Zaleskowszczyzna situated in Belarus, the Holszany district.
This is not PODLINIA = Zaleskowszczyzna, in the Borysow county in the 19th century; and not NW to Lida.
Our Zaleskowszczyzna is situated 2 km south-east to EIGERDY;
Zaleskovshchina/Zaleskauschina, is situated 12 km to Woldziki, and 13 km to Bakszty/Bakshty.
Above EIGERDY belonged now to the Iwye District = Aigard/Aigardus, maybe of Marcjan Eigerd fought in 1605 close to Kircholm.
And it seems MICHNO Konstantynowicz owned a farmland Merkine in addition but this is not Merecz Michnowo by initial course of Merkys river in the Turgeliai parish, 38 km S-E-S of Vilnius [Michno Konstantynowicz owned Merecz Michnowo that is Merecz Michnowski = MERKINE village, 6 kilometers north-east to Merkine town, southern Lithuania at present].
Michno's son was born ca 1550 (unknown first name, but he was the first with nickname Pohozy in the Minsk prowince in 1600 - Zaleskowszczyzna close to Holszany); the grandson was Mikolaj Konstantynowicz Pohoza b. ca 1590 (Buhta / Baguta / Babianowszczyzna).
This fact noted down in armorials of the Grand duchy of Lithuania:
in 1578, Konstantinowicz who was born ca 1520/1530 = Michno Konstantynowicz;
in 1584, Michal Konstantynowic = Michno Konstantynowicz b. ca 1520/1530;
in 1648, Konstantinowicz or Konstantynowicz = Mikolaj Konstantynowicz b. ca 1590.
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 b. ca 1590, 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, Kadino, Soino, then in Berezetnia, Szamow, Nesterovo, and in
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 Dukes 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 and Mscislau) back home to the Minsk district in 1740s/1750s, and this line going to Antoni Konstantynowicz born ca 1833 the owner of Miezonka. In the 17th century we were living in Mscislau, Samava, Soino. In the second part of the 19th century in Miezonka, Kazan and Moscow.
The Mscislau province in 1767/1772 was already in Russia, as the Government of Mahileu after the 1st Partition
of POLAND in 1772, I am afraid. The Konstantynowiczs partly have moved out to the easternmost parts of the MINSK government to the Berezino parish after 1740s/1750s, and after ca 1840; after 1842 we were settled in the villages BOROVINA and MIEZONKA (the village is situated 28 kilometres south - east of Berazino = Beresino either Byerazino or Berezina).
In 1880s Apollon Konstantynowicz acted with Breguet, Drzewiecki, Duflon, Dizerens in St Petersburg; and Apollon Konstantynowicz established The Duflon and Konstantynowicz Company in 1892 until 1918.
Genealogy and history of the Kanstancinovic / Konstantinovich / Konstantynowicz family in the XVIII and XIX centuries in Russia covers relatives:
Troubetzkoy, Sedykh from Kazan, and Kalinowski from Cracow, Armand in Moscow and Petersburg, Gernet from Estonia, Dunkel / Tunkel, Rehbinder / Rebinder, Benkedorf, Urban, Steinberg, from Estonia, Dubbelt / Dubelt from Riga, Bakst, Demonet or De Monet, Dizeren, Azbelev, Bagration-Gruzinski and Mukhrani from Sakartvelo-Georgia.
Our neighbours - Samuel Owsiany, d. after 1621, the son of Jan Boguszewicz Owsiany, the secretary of the King. And Krzysztof Owsiany, the Lida official. Taboryszki by the Meraczanka river, was the Owsiany estate in the 16th century - the neigbours of the Konstantynowicz clan and the Czyz family in the 16th century. Jan Owsiany, the OLYKA official. Liutgarda Avsianaite (Owsiana).
The Konstantynowicz ancestry with the Fox coat of arms (1534) come from Michno Konstantynowicz of the Lida and the Mereczanka river (Zaleskowszczyzna close to Holszany in 1552; Merkine / Merecz farm in 1554) area on the border of Lithuania and Belarus. Konstantinovich hasn't the Cossack or the Greek origin. It was a legend only about Greek Konstantinovich Anastasius of 1784 who moved from Rumelia - Macedonia today, first to Nizhyn, and then to Pereyaslav-Khmelnitsky; served to the Pereyaslav regiment in 1756.
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.
The Konstantynowicz family near by Perejaslav has got the Fox coat of arms. Somebody (owned Fox coat
of arms according to an armorial of 1914; territory of Russia in the 18th cent., 78 km SE of Kiev)
among Cossacks in 1756 in Pereyaslav.
At the beginning of the 18th century in the Minsk province we have sibilings: Maciej Konstantynowicz, Pavel / Pawel Konstantynowicz, Samuel Konstantynowicz, Bazyli Konstantynowicz, Antoni Konstantynowicz b. ca 1725

Adam Franciszek Konstantynowicz A.D. 1707;
and 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 Holynski was the 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.

The last in the Mscislaw province was Antoni Konstantynowicz b. ca 1725, who was signed the Second Manifesto of Lithuanian Nobility in 1763.
