A limited number of people do the work of reconstructing the history of the family by the family name in primary sources. It is gratifying that their number is increasing over time. However, for those who are not on the subject, but are interested, I am posting the foundational materials to begin with.
To begin, I will return to the primary source from whom I heard about the principle of research itself. It is the conference of S.V. Taraskin, the Temporary Acting President of the USSR. In this event he presents his own developed system of search of the information on his Kin. Here is this video, take a look:
More books and materials from which you can take more information about your pro-parents.
Very much surprised by the Tsar Book, written by order of Ivan the Terrible for his descendants. 27 volumes, 2 PDF and DjVu formats. You can download everything at this link. The printed version of Taraskin all books weighs 150 kilograms. Impressive.
Concerning the Transfer of Cosmic and Planetary Rights
There is another no less interesting document, a description of which I will give below. There is no such certified copy as the letter of A.F. Macedonian at the present time. There is an annotation, or description, of Cohn’s contents.
Taraskin said he would not publish this document for the time being. The full title of the document is:
Brief semantic content of the document:
Additional Ancient Primary Sources
It is worth mentioning two other sources for finding information about your Kin. We are talking about two very valuable books. The first is “Dictionary of Old Russian Language” by I. I. Sreznevsky. The second is “Historiography of the Name. Glory and Expansion of the Slavic Nation” by Mavro Orbini.
The latter author has another work concerning the Slavic clans. This manuscript is called “The Slavic Kingdom. The origin of the Slavs and the spread of their domination.” I have not yet managed to read it. At the same time I have studied it superficially. Conclusion: to use this essay for my research.
Look at the video, which has all the titles of the books. They can and should be used to restore the history of the family name. This is how one learns one’s affiliation to one’s blood ancestors.
I also have a search to do. That is why I appeal to more experienced people who have information. Please give advice, a tip or a link that will make the work more accurate. Please post this in the form of comments below the article.
In my next posts I will try to describe, step by step, what I did. Why I did not use all of the above-mentioned sources to find information about my Kin, or vice versa. I look forward to your comments!
