Are you aware of any discharge lists? People who were released from the army before the war was done?

[/q]

A document about it should be somewhere, but not like a list.

If military records are too problematic, then don't worry about it.

Give me last names, I will try, cause I will be in this archive too, but don't know will I have time and opportunity to look. Most probably I will go after New Year.

One guy here published the book on Minsk gubernia land owners. You can buy it (USD 50) or ask him to seek for Vassily / Waclaw for you (USD 1 per line).

Another suggestion - private search, for ex., ask the guy here

Are we speaking about 50 hectars or 50 acres?

You Western people seem to like blind search. So far I can't imagine the possibility here (too few records are digitalized for it)

[/q]

The blind search is like a puzzle, trying to put all the pieces together. Still... a search with the all information is probably easier. At least I've picked up some Russian in the process.

I'd look into buying the book. Does he mail to Canada or just local or the United States? It certainly seems to be a good resource.

My mistake.

I knew it was close to the border but thought it was still in Minsk Province. Guess I was wrong. Thanks for the correction.

I'd still be interested in the book, simply because I'm unsure if that is indeed the family I'm looking for and because it is bound to come in handy with other searches. Hence, my inclusion of Vilna Province as well in the initial post.

Sorry, but this place in Russian Empire was in Minsk governorate.

Я же выше выложил карту, где и Воложин и Деревно в Ошмянском уезде Виленской губернии, не в Минской.
И из словаря XIX века.

Существовала и иная Borowikowszczyzna между Рудней и Падневичами.
Относилась она к ивенецкой парафии и находилась севернее м.Ивенец.
Есть иные н.п. Деревное: Здесь подробнее
Дзераўная — вёска Новамышскага сельсавета Баранавіцкага раёна Брэсцкай вобласці
Дзераўная — вёска Імянінскага сельсавета Драгічынскага раёна Брэсцкай вобласці
Дзераўная — вёска Гараднянскага сельсавета Столінскага раёна Брэсцкай вобласці
Дзераўная — вёска Дзераўнянскага сельсавета Слонімскага раёна Гродзенскай вобласці

Согласно попису войска ВКЛ 1567 г. - м. Деревная в Мин. повете., князь А. Вишневецкий ставил с нее 7 коней.
В 1582 князь А. Вишневецкий ставил 19 коней, в 1595, Деревная м., М.К.М. Радивил ставил 22 коня.
В описи парафий минского деканата 1784 г. в Деревненском костеле нет фл. Боровиковщизна.
Нет его и в описи за 1934 г., причем Деревная относилась к деканату Столпецкому, того же повета (см.файл).
