Staszkiewicz family

The Staszkiewicz family ( , Lietuvių: Staškevičiai, Українська: Сташкевичі, Stashkevychs; Русский: Сташкевичи, Stashkevichs) is a Polish-Lithuanian noble family of ancient lineage originating from the Duchy of Samogitia.

The first known reference to the family is in the 1528 census of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania where they are recorded living in the voivodeships of Samogitia, Trakai, and Vilnius.

Nineteenth century documents record the family in additional territories: Vitebsk, Podolia, Kovno, Mogilev, Kiev, and Volhyn.

Heraldry

Kasper Niesiecki records the Staszkiewicz family coming from the Duchy of Samogitia and states their coat of arms is a variation of Leliwa coat of arms.

Juliusz Ostrowski records the Staszkiewicz coat of arms (I & III) as variations of Sas coat of arms and also records, referencing Niesiecki, version II as a variation of Leliwa.

An 1819 confirmation of nobility records a branch of the Staszkiewicz family using the coat of arms .
