Abstract:

The first part of the present book, Noble Families in Lithuania in the 19th Century. Districts of Lida, Oshmiana and Vilnius, appeared in 2016 and covered the materials on the nobility of the Lida, Oshmiana and Vilnius districts (powiats) of the former Vilnius Guberniya. The present volume is devoted to the districts of Sventainy (Polish: Święciany) and Trakai (Polish: Troki). Two more districts remain to be described and published: the districts of Dzisna (Lithuanian: Dysna) and Vilnius. The area of my interest – the former Vilnius Guberniya – in the times of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth covered three provinces: of Vilnius, Trakai and Polotsk, and a small portion of Minsk and Novogrudok provinces. The region came under Russian rule aft er the second and third partitions of the Commonwealth in 1793 and 1795, and remained under the Russian tsars’ power until the First World War. My main subject of interest is the nobility of this region. However, I neither have the possibilities nor sources to study the entire noble community in Lithuania. Thus, I have limited my search to landowning and settled nobility. I am interested in landowners of noble origin and in urban elites, the clergy, the military and students of noble birth. My study gathers information about the noble families living in the former Vilnius Guberniya in the 19th century, indicating the settlement centres where those families and individuals lived.
