Ośenczukowski / Osieńczukowski / Osęczukowski

I am looking for the geneological roots of Osenczukowski family. From my grandfather (Evgeni Limanov) I know that our grandgrandgrand father was from an ancient noble family Osenczukowski (I am not sure about spelling). He was one of the leaders of the revolt in Poland against Russian tsarism. Then, when the revolt failed (in 1830 th or 1860 th) he ran to the territory of Russia and lived near the river Don. In order to escape he changed his surname and took the surname Limanovskiy (lived at Donskoy liman - Donskoy estuary), then russified it for Limanov. It is interesting to find far relatives in Poland or somewhere abroad who came from this family.

Vorontsov-Velyaminov

I am looking for any information regarding Vladimir and Katarina Vorontsov-Velyaminov. Unfortunately, I have little information, and the information I do have may be inaccurate.
- They were both deceased before 1917, Katarina probably in 1907
- Katarina's maiden name was Zemczuznikow (exact spelling unknown)
- They had at least six children (Olga, Katarina, Maria and Sergei, other names unknown)
- One older son may have escaped to France during or after the 1917 Revolution
- They lived in a place called Maliniki (I believe that is the name of the property, otherwise could be the town of Malinky). I don't know in which province.
- The children lived in Bobruisk after 1914

I'd love to hear from anyone that knows anything about the family.

Baron

I'm searching information about the school and school years of my husband's paternal grandfather Vasili Baron (father Petter / Peter) in St. Petersburg. He got a scholarship to a boarding school near the Summer Palace, and spent appr. 5 years in the school.

He was born 1896 in Karkku village of Salmi, Karelia (nowaday Karku, Salmi), next to Lake Ladoga. He was a Finnish Karelian and Orthodoxian. He changed the name of his family in 1930 as one of his friends (the richest man of Finland), gave him advice to change the surname. He and his family left Salmi in 1939.

Are there any archives where I could find info and documents about this school, scholarship and his school years in St. Petersburg?

Kokovtsov

We inform about the launching of a private project to study the genetic roots of the Kokovtsov noble family. Descendants of the Kokovtsovs are invited to participate. Necessary requirements (one or both) are as follows:

1. You have at least one ancestor from the Kokovtsov family who lived after year 1700. The later the ancestor lived, the better it is for research. For men and women, age does not matter.

2. You keep the continuity strictly in the male line from the oldest known representative of the genus - Yakov Kokovtsov (family tree is available via internet) OR his descendants strictly in the male line also. The time of birth of the ancestor does not matter. Only for men, age does not matter. This is the research on the Y chromosome.
