Alexander Łappa (1802-1869) – Last Elected Minsk Governorate Marshal of Nobility: Part I: Genealogy and county activity (1823-1859)

Summary/Abstract: A large number of archival and printed sources, as well as scientific literature analyzed by the author of the article, allows to reconstruct the genealogy and family networks of one of the key figures of the noble self-government of the westernmost parts of the Russian Empire of the 1850-1860s – Marshal of the Nobility of Bobruisk County, then Minsk Governorate Alexander Łappa. Due to successful careers, marriages and land deals, the Belarusian-Lithuanian minor landed noble family of Łappa, represented by a retired officer of the Russian troops Dominik Łappa and his son Alexander, were among the most progressive and respected Belarusian landowners in the first half of the 19th century. This opened the way for them to the highest elective offices in the local apparatus of noble self-government.
