Hello Dennis,

I am not sure whether or not this has been determined conclusively. Voynich 
appears to have been very protective of his immediate Family, not wishing to 
disclose his relatives and early life. This is understandable considering 
his political inclinations. As Rafal states he was from Kaunas, though he 
may have had family living in Poland as well. The extent of his "nobility" 
is questionable. His father was apparently at one point a petty officer. He 
had a sister. He married Ethel Boole. They had a daughter (per Census 
listing), named Winifred (sp?, Winifrid), though it is not clear whether or 
not she might have been adopted, or they might have been her guardians.

Regards,
Dana Scott
