Family
Aleksander Korwin Gosiewski comes from the Korwin branch of the family.
Aleksander was married to Ewa Pac. They had one daughter, Zuzanna [http://jurzak.pl/gd/szablony/osoba.php?lang=en&id=018319] , and two sons; Wincenty [http://jurzak.pl/gd/szablony/osoba.php?lang=en&id=018319] and Krzysztof.
Some sources claim that a cousin of Wicenty's was the landowner of a huge estate in the Chelsty region, (near Rózan too). But it appears confused whether this szlachcic is really from the Korwin-Gosiewski family or from the Slepowron-Gosiewski.
