bolo: As far as I know "Lubicz" is sort of famous surname in Poland - I think it belongs to "aristocracy or royal people" clan... Serbs, of noble origin
Oscar Vladislas de Lubicz Milosz (Oskaras Mila¹ius is the Lithuanian spelling of his name) was born May 28, 1877, on the estate of Èerėja, on the eastern outskirts of the country known (before it was divided and occupied by Russia and Prussia at the end of the eighteenth century) as the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Today, this part of Lithuania belongs to Belorussia. His father was a Lithuanian-Polish nobleman, but his ancestors were not native to the region. According to family legend, they had emigrated there from the very heart of ethnic Lithuania, on the Baltic peninsula. The Miloszes were refugees in this area too. Several centuries earlier, fleeing German pressure, they had left behind their estates in the territory of the Lusatian Serbs, near Frankfurt an der Oder. While Mila¹ius derived his lineage from an aristocratic Serbian family of the Middle Ages, he nonetheless stressed his "Lithuanianness. " Mila¹ius felt a great affiliation to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, whose noblemen his paternal grandparents became. (Kubilius, 1981).
