I effectively looked to quiet a lot of genealogical trees of these
'Polish' inhabitants, especially mine, and I saw that almost all
ancestors had polish names from the very beginning (e.g. In 1648), when
in some parishes registration of birth, death and marriages became
mandatory. They never had to change it into Polish, it always was in
Polish.

Hello,
I You would took a look to genealogical trees of these "Polish"
inhabitants, You would saw that almost all their ancestors were
Lithuanians. When Poland had occupated Vilnius, Polish authority
compeled Vilnius inhabitants to change their surnames into Polish forms.
