By Nikolai Penner and Glenn Penner

The following list is nearly direct translation of a table found in collection of the Odessa Regional State Archives Fond 6, Inventory 4, file 21110 (frames 47-56). It has been slightly edited in order to make the family and village names correspond to the more typical spellings, and the data has been rearranged for the sake of clarity. If anyone finds any errors in this translation or has any comments, please send them to gpenner@uoguelph.ca .
