Krupski

[16] Ezhi and Christina Krupski founded the Mother of God of Consolation (Order of Friars Minor Capuchin) church in Orchówek, near Włodawa, in 1507.

A Zaporozhian Cossacks register dated October 16, 1649 by John II Casimir Vasa and Bohdan Khmelnytsky contains the following: Krupski was recognized in the Russian nobility of the Mogilev Governorate on March 16, 1799[26] and November 12, 1811[27] as "a noble, ancient family"[28] in a six-volume genealogy book (Russian: Дворянская Родословная Книга).

Other branches of the family were included in the nobility of the Minsk,[29] Vitebsk,[30] Vilna,[31] Kovno,[32] Volhynia,[33] Podolia[34] and Kiev Governorates.

During World War II, 772 family members died in military service;[36] Polish officer Roman Krupski was killed in the Katyn massacre.

More than 2,000 descendants live primarily in Belarus, Lithuania, Ukraine, Poland and Russia, and a smaller number live in Latvia, Estonia, Great Britain, Ireland, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, France, Italy, the US (which recorded the first Krupski immigrants from Europe in 1880),[39] Canada, Australia, Moldova, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Israel and South Africa.
