Greetings. I update with some research on the branches of this family. The Talko family was recorded in Slonim in 1488 and they used many nicknames including Hryncewicz which became a Lithuanian branch. They were also recorded as Talko-Nekraszewicz before 1500 and Talkowicz. The Talko-Hryncewicz family migrated to Lithuania probably from Poland at some point around 1640, the year they were recorded in Kaunas. Several branches of the original Talko boyars remained in the Kaunas region for hundreds of years but they used different surnames and are paternal cousins.

The related names Talko-Porzecki, Purzecki and Purzycki branched off from Talko sometime before 1550 taking these names from three villages they owned as part of their Mazovian estate. Some retained the Talko nickname (i.e., Talko-Porzecki) but others did not. There are three herbs association with Purzycki and some of them went to the Lida region of modern Belarus. This branch became our ancestors after some moved to the Kaunas region- Purzycki-Purzecki h Pomian of Kaunas. Their use of the Purzecki form in some recordings in Kaunas from the 1790s was the last recorded use of this family surname (source: researcher Stężycki in Warsaw). The Purzycki were called the 'eternal nobility' as their nobility came from the older Talko clan, this branch is documented in Polish heraldry with some additional names such as Porzycki.

A note about Y genetic study of this family that dispels folklore written of the family history. The Talko, Porzecki-Purzecki, Purzycki men are R1b paternal haplogroup which is not Baltic but Germanic/Polish origin (as well as small areas of Russia). It is proven that there were migrations from Poland to Belarus and Lithuania, possibly there are ancient genetic ties to Germany or Prussia - these regions have higher concentrations of R1b and other family carried Prussian arms from Mazovia. Haplogroup R1b is very rare in Lithuania and it only exists over time from individual family migrations. Therefore, whatever family folklore exists of 'Talko' coming from (or related to) the Lithuanian Grand Dukes is fantasy since the early Dukes were Baltic and genetically related to Rurik. A paternal genetic relation to these early leaders is impossible. Where the Talko family was located before the royal city of Slonim in 1488 is not known at this time. The Talko name is associated with a village on the modern Poland-Belarus border (Talkowszczyzna) but we feel the Talka River located deeper in White Ruthenia is more likely. Additional genetic Y evidence supports ancient Ruthenia origin. While I was able to research this on my own some additional color was provided in consultation with Andrzej Zygmunt Rola-Stężycki - heraldry researcher in Warsaw.

A final note about similar names Talkowicz/Talkowski. These names are found from a line of Tartar Princes that were also in the Kaunas region. Despite the fact that some Tartars are found to be R1b (specifically, the Russian Tartars), we do not expect that this family is related to the Polish Talko.
