Abstract: . In recent years, more and more modern researchers of different directions refer to the works of Georgy Voronoy, whose importance for the development of world science is revealed only now. But a person becomes a person, first of all, under the influence of his family and the times in which he lives. Voronyje was a DYNASTY, not in the sense of selecting one profession, but of selfless service to the people and the fatherland on their elected way of life. Ukrainian mathematicians, historians and ethnographers have devoted a serious study of Voronoy family archives. Unfortunately, their presentation is not always free from a certain “political overtones”, because of the current situation in Ukraine. But Voronoy's family never was Russophobian, by contrast, it is an example of this intelligentsia of the time in which its members had to live. The report examines the little-known biographies of three generations of the family of Georgy Feodosevich Voronoy: father – Feodosij Jakovljevic Voronoy (1837-1910) – a wonderful teacher; Georgy Voronoy’ children: sons – Alexander (1892-1946) and Yurij (1895-1961), daughters – Alexandra (1894-1966), Maria (1900-1984) and Helena (1906-1993), as well as the way of life of Georgy Voronoy (1868- 1908), his scientific biography and a brief analysis of his research.
