The Russian State Historical Archive has a record about the village of Seliszcze. F. 379 Op. 4 D. 352, dates: May 4, 1814 - June 26, 1814:

<p>
This fund contains information about state forests, forestry, and a description of landowners' lands in the Western Region. It is possible that this record refers to our village. However, full confirmation requires archival verification.
