Shugaevsky Family

This section has most of the information I've uncovered for my grandfather  Valentin's sibings, parents, and forebears. Valentin will have his own section.

The material I've gathered for my ancestors listed below may not be of much interest for the casual reader.

 

Vasily Yermolaivich

1773 - ?

Orthodox priest in a small village

Stefan Vasilyevich

1810-1904

Vasily's son who also became a priest of some importance. He was my Valentin's grandfather.

Trofim Vasilyevich

ca 1808 - ?

Another of Vasily's sons. He disappears from the record at an early age and so his page is short.

Pavel Stefanovich

1849-?

Valentin's uncle. He moved from Chernihiv to St. Petersburg. I didn't find much information about him.

I am unschooled in geneology so I didn't use any system to make this family tree. It's not very complex. If I have any living Shugaevsky relatives other than my mother and siblings I am unaware of them. Ariadna (at the bottom) is my mother.
