I
am researching the Dzimitrowicz family name and all affiliated family names.
Some of the names/locations are as
follows; this list is not all inclusive. If you have any questions, inputs or
comments, feel free to email me. Just press the flashing email sign.
Finally a current picture of my wife
Brigitte, Wiktor and I (Tony) .Will have some new ones real soon. Location; Vilnius
(Wilno) Lithuania
from the center of the city. May 31, 2001.
Here
are four of the youngest members of the clan. They are; (10)
(6) (2) and (4)
Here
is the Family Crest. If you would like to learn more, let me know.
I received the following translation of
the request to re-instate the Dzimitrowicz Family Crest on June 6, 1996. This
is a translation of the document received from the Lithuanian Archives. The
translation was received on this date. It was translated by individuals who
speak various languages (such as Lithuanian, Polish, Russian and Belarus to name a few) and work at the BalzekasMuseum
in Chicago, IL...
While doing
research, I have contacted various people with the surname of Dzimitrowicz in
all of the following locations.
USA - All members are
related except for the family from Boston,
Mass. I also feel there may
be some relationship here in past history. This was possibly established
upon reviewing the nobility request which refers to an Augustyn and the
reference to an Augustine (sp) from the Boston, Mass.
D's.. More information required. (!?!?!?)
Lithuania - The individual here
has married thus loosing her surname of Dzimitrowicz. Due to research by
her because of a request from me (she works in the Archives in Wilno, Lithuania).
It was discovered that she turns out to be our third cousin once removed.
The equivalent name in Lithuanian for Dzimitrowicz would be DZIMITRAVICIUS
or DIMITRAVICIUS. According to the Lietuviu pavardziu Zodynas (Lithuanian
Surname Dictionary) there are four (4) uses of the name in Eisiskes and
six (6) uses in Kaunas
for Dzimitravicius. For the name Dimitravicious, there are three (3) uses
in Kaunas,
Lazdijai one (1), Zarenai three (3), -ovicious Druskininkai one (1), of
Dimitrovic eight (8). This equates to about 25 cases of the Name in Lithuania.
This would increase the estimate of Dzimitrowicz's.
France - Finally met Joseph
& Marie-Therese Dzimitrowicz. Was a wonderful day but very short. Hope
to do it again real soon.
Germany- Contact has been established with
Robert Dzimitrowicz (from Poland)
who lives and works in Germany.
In conversation, he is quite interested in this search.
England - The same feeling applies
here with the individual whom I have contacted.
Poland -My thanks to Robert
and his most wonderful wife and son. Also a special thanks to his mother
who was a most hospitable individual. Even though there are at least 79
registered families with the name of Dzimitrowicz, I have not had the
opportunity to contact many.
No matter whether there is a relationship or
not, it is the name alone that is unique and all have in common. With what
is known, there are approximately 125 to 150 families with this name. In
my estimate there are about 350 Dzimitrowicz's in the world. Anybody with
a different guess? How does that feel belonging to a minority group?
UPDATE ('s)
Finally been to Poland
(again) and Lithuania,
hope to return again soon. There are so many questions and people to meet and
learn about and their families... ;-}:
