Summary/Abstract: The article discusses Cyprian Norwid’s contacts with more distant relatives: Euphemia Tudor, daughter of Frederic Tudor and wife of the diplomat Michał Kleczkowski; and Ketty Carter, wife of Colonel Kornel Kleczkowski (and after his death, wife of Thomas Edward Kierkpatrick). Both these couples were used by Norwid as subject to his deliberations on mixed marriages of Poles with American and English women. The author is painstakingly collecting any available data on both Norwid's relatives, hoping for her knowledge of the relationships to expand.
