Doukhobor
Ancestral Village Finder
by Jonathan J. Kalmakoff
In order to successfully research our
Doukhobor ancestors, it is necessary to identify the ancestral village in
Russia in which they lived prior to immigrating to Canada. This task is made
substantially easier with the Doukhobor Village Finder. Use this geographic
finding aid to cross-reference the Canadian village your Doukhobor ancestors
settled in in 1899, with the Russian village from which they most likely
originated prior to 1899. You can then consult specific Russian archival
records for that village to locate your Doukhobor family, thus significantly
reducing research time.

Notes
As a general principle, the Doukhobors immigrated
and resettled en masse, maintaining the same village groupings in Canada as they
had in Russia. That is, the Doukhobors who settled together in a Canadian
village tended to all originate from the same village in Russia. With this
principle in mind, I have conducted an extensive review of archival records
pertaining to Doukhobor villages in Russia and Canada in order to determine the
common Doukhobor families in both. The results of this research are embodied in
this Doukhobor Ancestral Village Finder.
Although great care and attention has been exercised in compiling this
geographic finding aid, it is intended as a guide only to identify the Russian
village of origin of the majority of Doukhobors living in a particular Canadian
village. Exceptions may invariably occur on a family-by-family basis.
Researchers are encouraged to consult other records to corroborate the
information presented herein.
In
order to use this guide, you must first identify and locate the village in which
your Doukhobor ancestor first settled in 1899 in Saskatchewan, Canada. To do so, consult the
1901 Canada Census and/or the 1905 Doukhobor Village Census. Note: the
Doukhobor Ancestral Village Finder does not apply to Doukhobor
villages established in Canada after 1905.
