The present online exhibition gives\r\nthe description of only 69 such records for the years 1802-1876. The earliest of these are\r\nthe parish records for the baptism of Vincent Jakub Dunin-Martsinkevich on 23 January 1808\r\nat the Parish Catholic Church in Bobruisk and his second baptism at the estate of\r\nPaniushkavichi on 25 July 1808. A considerable part of NIAB records are genealogical\r\nrecords and documents confirming the noble origin of V. Dunin-Martsinkevich: the\r\ngenealogical charts from 1826 and 1832, the family lists from 1816 and 1842, edicts,\r\nextracts, minutes, applications and other documentary material for the years 1832-1854. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Archives holds a number of records relating to the estate of Lutsynka near Ivenets,\r\nwhich the Dunin-Martsinkevich family acquired from the land judge A. Sialiava in 1840, the\r\ndeed of purchase of 6 April 1840, a file concerning the mutual claims of A. Sialiava nad\r\nV.

Dunin-Martsinkevich; an 1862 charter for the estate of Lutsynka, etc. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The applications and report from 1834 have survived which confirm that V.\r\nDunin-Martsinkevich served as a clerk at the Roman Catholic Consistory in Minsk. The\r\nparish transcript from the Minsk Trinity Catholic Chirch testifies to the birth and\r\nbaptism of\u00a0 V. Dunin-Martsinkevich&#8217;s children: daughter Emilia (b. 31 October 1835),\r\nson Miraslau Edvard (b. 2 October 1837), daughter Yaugenia Emilia (b. 25 December 1835),\r\ndaughter Zofia Alitsia (b. 12 March 1840), daughter Tsezarina (b. 16 August 1841). <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>NIAB records illustrate the participation of V. Dunin-Martsinkevich and his family in\r\nthe 1863 Uprising. There is an alphabetical list of persons who participated in the\r\nuprising with indication of their confiscated, sequestrated and arrested property which\r\nshows at No10 the landlord of Minsk district V.
