“Genealogy of Donetsk Region”: genealogical sources of XVIII - the beginning of ХХ century
Open accessAbstract
The purpose of research is to identify the features of information record in metric books, confession lists and revision “skazki”, their use in making genealogical trees of representatives of different denominations and social categories of XVIII - the beginning of ХХ century, that are stored in the State Archives of Donetsk Oblast. Methodology of the research lies in the use of methods of typologization and classification, historiographic, historical-genetic, and historical-comparative methods that allowed for comprehensive processing of sources, revealing their information capabilities and features. An attempt was made to investigate their information potential and their use in making genealogical trees of representatives of different denominations and social categories of Donetsk Region. Metric books are the primary genealogical source, because they recorded the main events in human life: birth, marriage, death. Their information potential makes it possible to explore the family relationship of all segments of Ukrainian society. Another important all-segment source of genealogical information is the confession lists of the churches: the annual family and nominal registers of the parishioners of the church, who were confessed to the priest. The information potential of these sources should be used at the beginning of genealogical research, when the number and names of family members, the exact dates of birth are unknown. The source of the most practical importance in the reconstruction of genealogical trees of taxable segments of the population is the materials of the all-Russian taxable population censuses, which were conducted in the territory of the Russian Empire in the period of 1718-1857. The results of these censuses were the so-called revision “skazki”. Metric books, revision “skazki” and confession lists are sufficiently informative sources and have a high level of reliability, their information potential makes it possible to reconstruct genealogical trees of representatives of different denominations and social categories of Donetsk Region. Their scientific value is increasing today because of the inability of Ukrainian researchers to study part of these complexes due to Russian aggression in the East of Ukraine.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
The article examines metric books, confession lists, and revision “skazki” as genealogical sources for Donetsk region from the 18th to the early 20th century, held in the State Archives of Donetsk Oblast. It argues that their combined information potential can reconstruct family trees across denominations and social categories, though preservation and access are incomplete.
Key findings
- Metric books are the primary genealogical source because they record birth, marriage, and death; confession lists are annual family and nominal registers useful at the start of research; revision “skazki” are materials of all-Russian taxable population censuses conducted in 1718–1857.
- The Mariupol Powiat Treasury Fund of the State Archives of Donetsk Oblast (F. 131) contains files of five revisions in 73 cases (1811, 1816, 1835, 1850, 1857); the IX revision materials are stored in six cases with a total of 1,722 sheets.
- According to the IX revision summary for Mariupol, there were 131 male and 98 female merchants, including “of Greek class: male – 101 and female – 78” and Russian: 30 male and 20 female; bourgeois numbered 1,655 male and 1,501 female (1,483 Greek male, 1,484 Greek female; 35 Russian, 17 male and 18 female). Under the X revision, merchants decreased to 100 male and 89 female, with Greek merchants 68 male and 57 female and Russian merchants 32 male and 32 female.
- In 2017, with Family Search support, about 4,086 archival files in 273 church funds, covering 1809–1928, were microfilmed; cooperation was terminated from January 1, 2012, so funds with metric books of Jews and Germans (Roman-Catholics, Mennonites, Lutherans) were not digitized. Mennonite materials provide information on 788 men and 707 women of the Mariupol Mennonite District.
Methods
- The study uses typologization and classification, historiographic, historical-genetic, and historical-comparative methods to process metric books, revision “skazki,” and confession lists and to reveal their information capabilities and features.
- It analyzes genealogical sources held in the State Archives of Donetsk Oblast, with examples from specific churches, funds, and revisions, including Greek, German, Mennonite, Jewish, and Orthodox populations.
- The paper is a source-study analysis rather than a quantitative study; no formal sampling procedure is stated.
Limitations
- The paper states that part of the archival materials remains in temporarily occupied territory with unknown fate, and Ukrainian researchers cannot study part of these complexes because of Russian aggression in the East of Ukraine; preservation of sources is incomplete.
- It also states source-specific limitations: revision “skazki” have the most unreliable age data, inconsistently and carelessly count the female population, and omit babies born between revisions; confession lists have inaccuracies in names and omit information about a deceased man of a widow; metric books have lacunae.
- Evident from the text: the article is largely descriptive and illustrative, relying on selected archival examples and cited literature rather than a systematic reconstruction or quantitative validation of genealogical outcomes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
