- Abstract
This article attempts to reconstruct the history of Czesław Miłosz's birthplace, the Šeteniai manor, on the basis of documents found in Lithuanian archives. A search of documents archived in the District of Kaunas turned up a sketch of this manor at the end of the 19th century, from which sketch, the earliest known graphic representation of this area, it is possible to form a judgment about the manor's buildings and park. The genealogy of Miłosz's mother's family had not been previously extensively researched on the basis of birth certificates, which disclosed interesting facts but also left some puzzles: grandfather Zigmantas Kunatas is identified in his marriage entry as born in Skaruliai parish, Skrebinai manor (not Krasnogrūda); his mother J. Kunotienė died in Šeteniai (not Krasnogrūda). Much information on the history of the Šeteniai manor is provided by documents relating to the 1922 Land Reform in Lithuania: these documents throw light not only on questions of land ownership but also on human relations and questions pertaining to wealth and citizenship; they also allow us to recognize the prototypes of some of Miłosz's heroes.
