Two corrections: 1. The name Mirski comes probably from small village Miory close to Braslaw in what was then Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (today Belarus), not from Mir Castle. The family established itself in this region about 1550. The first wooden church in Miory 21:43, 4 December 2010 (UTC)173.176.50.49 (talk)was built in 1641 by Sebastian Mirski. Until II World War in the region of Braslaw it was a lot of properties owned by Polish Mirski families. Source: History of the Braslaw Region by Otton Hedemann, Wilno 1930

2. The Mir castle was bought only in 1895 by Nicolas Swiatopelk-Mirski. Nicolas' father, Tomasz Bogumil Jan Swiatopelk-Mirski, Polish noble, took part in 1931 November Resurrection against Russian occupation of Poland. After the resurrection failed, in order to escape tzar's punishment (Syberia!), he had to emigrate to Paris. During his years as emigrant he changed his political orientation and in 1842 he embraced both: orthodox religion and Slavophile (Russian-centered) political view. (See page Slavophile to understand Polish view of the Slavophile). Tomasz Bogumil Jan Swiatopelk-Mirski with his two renamed sons, Nicolas and Dymitr, moved with their father to Russia and are the founders of the Russian branch of the family. Their sister Boleslawa, as all other members of the family, stayed in Poland (occupied then by Russian Empire).

3. As per their Rurikid descent, you are right, there are no documents supporting this claim, the only proof could be the Sviatopolk added to the name Mirski... But, as some bright genealogists say, there is always some truth in oral transmission...
