For those who would like to get to their roots,
I would like to add that the name Bialkowski
originated in the 15th century and came from
the place in the South-East Part of Poland
called Bialkowka.These Bialkowskis were linked
to the counts Biberstein who migrated from
Switzerland.

There were also other Bialkowskis whose name
originated from Greater Poland
(close to the city of Poznan).

My search of Bialkowskis' history indicates
that many Bialkowskis lived at the East
borders of Poland, today - Ukraine
and Lithuania. In those regions, Bialkowskis
occupied good positions as well as
they had properties there.

In the University of Vilnius you can find
a book by mathematician Mikolaj Kazimierz
Bialkowski that was written in the 16-th century.

His father had large properties in Infanty
(I guess the northern part of Lithuania).
Mikolaj himself stayed in the Palace
of Ossolinskis.

Somehow names of noble Bialkowskis living
in the part of present Ukraine, Lithuania
or Bialorus dissapeared after the partition
of Poland.

I guess that many of them migrated to
Western Europe and to America to avoid
adverse changes.

Hence this is my explanation why today we find many
Bialkowskis living in the USA. My estimate is that
there are 200-300 Bialkowskis live in the USA and
Canada.

From my side - I was born in Poland but
from 1982 I have lived in Australia.

In summary, I would like to send my sincere greatings
to "cousins Bialkowskis" living in the US.

Kazimierz, brother of my great grandfather
Alexander Bialkowski, migrated to the US at the
beginning of the 20th century.

My grandfather's name was Konstanty (he lived
between 1880-1951 in Poland, in the village
Miszory, close to Brochow).

My father's name was Edward.

With best regards,

Marek
