Village of Khutor in Orlovsky District, Oryol Oblast
Hi everyone,
I require some help. I am about to start family research in Russia and need some guidance as I am really starting from scratch.
I am looking into my father-in-law's family, but we don't have much information.
Information
- The trail starts with Alexandra, supposedly born in the village of Khutor in Orlovsky District, Oryol Oblast.
- Possibly born Oct 1922 give or take
- Father's name was Ivan - not sure if this is accurate
- From what we know she also had a sister - She was sent to Ukraine
- Alexsandra was sent to Georgia as a child between 1925-1927 with a bucket of gold
- The children were split to increase the odds of survival. But for them to be sent away and with money, the family must have had some resources
- We know that the family ended up in the Urals afterwards and once sent someone to check on Alexandra in Georgia
- We have done a DNA test, but the connections are too far removed with no ancestry tree to help
Would anyone know what data base I can use to search archives. I am wondering if I can find some birth records from the church or from a government administration? Would anyone know what church or admin in particular I should be looking at?
I appreiacte your help!
Matthias
