Din ascendenţa Micleştilor. Note despre purtătorii numelui Borcea
Forefathers of the Miclescu Family. Notes About the Bearers of the Name Borcea

Summary/Abstract: The study approaches the beginnings of the Miclescu family, one of the oldest Moldavian families. The text exposes the descent of the Miclescu family from Nicolae Borcea, vornic and pârcălab of Hotin in the first half of the 16th century, as well as several links with other people having related names (as Bora, Borici). In the light of several direct and indirect documentary mentions, from the 14th – 17th centuries, the Miclescu family resulted to descend from boyars living immediately after the foundation of Moldavia, such as the judge Bora “at Horoiata rivulet”, or captain Giulea, dignitary of prince Peter the Ist, having roots in Maramureş.
