Abstract

The dynasty of Newelsky ,of Korczak crest, settled in Wodynie at the end of the XIX century. Up until the agricultural reform, the Newelsky family lived there, creating the history of three generations.The historiography of the dynasty is being told by the main representative of the family-Mrs Katarzyna Markiewicz, nee Newelska. She has acquired a very impressive number of family archives, consisting of various documents. Among those archives, the special attention should be paid to personal, offcial, juridical and agricultural files. Also, worth mentioning is the furniture and everyday objects used by the ancestors of Mrs Katarzyna.The fortune of the Newelsky family consisted of the wooden manor house, distillery, fish pond and the woodland. The dynasty paid special attention to the growth of the distillery industry and farming. Sadly, the agricultural reform in 1944 took everything, what they loved, away from them: 271,75 of the arable land was taken away, as well as 488,03 hectares of the land. The family had lost the roof over their heads and was left with no means of living. Just after the war, they were thrown out of the manor. From that time on, various members of the family experienced imprisonment, court proceedings, and all the other misfortunes. Mrs Katarzyna has never returned to Wodynie, there was nothing to go back to. The manor house connected with the Newelsky family had not withstood the difficult postwar times. Up until now, there is no evidence that could have helped to establish what had really happened in the house, under the occupation. It’s history still remains a mistery.
