MielnikIf anyone is interested, the origins of my family were very diverse. My mother was born in the Caucasus. Her father, Manvelian, was an Armenian railway employee. The Czar’s bureaucracy changed its employees’ surnames to make them seem Russian. My mother was then born, already as Bolesława Manwelow. Her mother was Lithuanian, and her name was Gieysztor. Gieysztor’s sister was called Romana: she traveled a lot and finished her university studies in Saint Petersburg. She was then able to study at the Sorbonne, in Paris. When she was a teenager, my mother was sent to Poland. Her parents’ trace disappeared in Russia. After the First World War, Bolesława finished her studies and was one of the few women graduated at the Chemistry Department at the Warsaw Polytechnic (PW)., Bogdan |
