Summary/Abstract: Despite the changes which took place in nineteenth-century societies, the elite still had a conservative worldview. The elite did not want to maintain relations with people outside the establishment. Consequently, partners for marriage were sought within the social stratum. Limited possibilities of getting to know a candidate for marriage in the Kingdom of Poland led to get married with people from outside the Kingdom of Poland. Examples of such relationships are the marriages of the Niezabitowski sisters, who came from “lost lands”, with the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Poland: Rodryg Potocki and August Ostrowski.
