What these books can and cannot tell you

They can

  • Show the towns and villages where the surname was recorded in 1917–1960.
  • Suggest which oblast to start the search in.

They cannot

  • This is a count of places, not people or ancestors.
  • An absent place does not mean the surname was never used there.
  • A shared surname does not establish family origin or kinship.

The index covers only the source material processed so far. An absent place does not mean the surname was never used there; a shared surname does not establish family origin or kinship.

Do you know the village your family came from?

Give us the surname and the village; we reply by email whether the parish books survive. It is free. Next is the search: a letter on where your family’s books are kept.

Don’t know the village? Send us the surname and the oblast: we will reply by email on whether there is enough to start.
