My grandfather had five sister only (no brother). The names all are known from this document exactly. The matter of it, is that one sister had sold your part of home the second sister. My grandfather has been mentioned in this document, because he was owner this home in 3/6 parts. Now nobody from my family has any part of this possession, but this paper official confirms, my family have been using both forms of surnames Kasztelewicz as well as Kasztelowicz. Exactly here my grandfather is named as "Józefa Kasztelowicza", what in text as should is form of Genitive from Józef Kasztelewicz. Moreover, on next, not shown here pages of this paper the both sisters had signed this themselves as Kasztelewicz. This is reason, the Kasztelewicz is by me accepted as my family name, although now I'm using Kasztelowicz.
