Tyszkiewicz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polish: Tyszkiewicz , Belarusian: Tyškievič, Lithuanian: Tiškevičiai, Russian: Тышкевич was a wealthy and influential magnate family of Ruthenian/Lithuanian nobility with roots traced into the times of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Their nobility was reaffirmed in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Russian Empire.
The family traces its roots to the name Kalenik and derives from the name of his son, Tysza, which reflected, e.g., in the name Tyszkiewicz-Kalenicki.
Places named Tyszkiewicz Palace or "former Tyszkiewicz Palace" and other historical property of the family are located in Warsaw, Kraków and Vilnius, as well as in numerous towns of modern Poland, Belarus, Lithuania and Ukraine (in Palanga, Kretinga, Lohoisk, Raudondvaris, Berdychiv, Biržai, Kavarskas, Deltuva, Trakai, Lentvaris, Seredžius, etc.)
