The following table is a compilation of a number of separate files pertaining to students writing final examinations in or graduating from various Molotschna village schools. In most cases the files provide us with the full name of the student, the village in which the student was registered, and the student's date of birth. The village of registration is not the village of residence, but probably the village in which the student's family was living at the time of the most recent Russian census (revision). It can be assumed that the school in which the village was located was also the village of residence for the students.

Many of the tables in the original documents also contained a column designating the religion of the student, which has been deleted in the following table. In all cases the religion of the student is Mennonite unless otherwise stated.

The village location was usually listed in the following form: Berdiansk region, Gnadenfeld or Halbstadt volost (district), name of settlement (or colony or village). For the purposes of this table I have ordered the location by starting with the village and have left out the geographical descriptors. Unless otherwise stated, the class to which the student belonged is that of settler proprietor.

A pdf version is also available.
