The Wasilewski family owned Dworzyszcze, a farm near the village of Stayki, near the town of Wolozyn, now in Belarus. It was in eastern Poland before World War II, in the region of Nowogródek. And in the region of Wilna prior to World War I in Russian occupied Poland. The earliest known family member is Aleksander who had a number of estates to the south and south-east of Wilno (Vilnius). He had a son, Marcin, who reputedly gambled away a large amount of the property that the family had owned in the area. His first born was Jan who, apparently saddled with debt, managed to overcome the problems and Dworzyszcze became a prosperous business. Jan had three sons, Wincenty, Jan Junior, and Aleksander. Aleksander died young. Jan also had 6 daughters. On Jan's death, unusually, the farm was split into two parts, one for each son, although Wincenti had the larger part. In 1938, Wincenti bought another farm, which was later named Wasilewczyzny. Wasilewczyzny is 15 kms north east of Werenów, which is 30 kms north of Lida. Then the War came. Wincenti's first born, Edward, became a pilot in the Polish Air Force attached to the RAF and settled in England after the War. He died in 1997 but his family continues to live in England and so does one part of the Nejranowski family. The remainder of the Wasilewski and Nejranowski families live in Poland except for two sisters and their families in Australia. We believe that one of the members of the family went to the USA, but we have no evidence that they landed there.
