Looking For A Marriage Record

At the same time, I put some order into all the research and ended up understanding something. Every year at the Nikitsky Church, in the confessional sheets the families had to appear. For now, I have the years 1828, 1829, 1837, 1840, 1848 and 1850. There is a big gap between 1829 and 1837. Is it possible that the Nechaev are not in these declarations? Do I have to search the 800 pages of each year to find them?
I'm quite a perfectionist, I like to have all the documents relating to my ancestors even if it doesn't really help me advance in genealogy.

Hi, you should look into The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin at Butyrki (церковь Рождества Богородицы на Бутырках). Nechaev family was in this parish (look the confessional sheets that Atkara-EV previously found for you). Nikitsky Sorok is a group of churches no need to look into all 800 pages of them just find church in Butyrki. It should be noted that not all documents have survived time.
You should also know that the surname was not always recorded in the documents. Sometimes only the first and patronymic names were at such documents.
And one more thing - it is possible that Nechaev family before 1810 lived somewhere else or was parishioners of other parish.

Ah, I understand now! Thank you for explaining. I'll make sure to take note of this for my upcoming research. I'm gradually gaining insight into how things operated in Russia during that period.

It's a bit strange though, that I can't find Konstantin in 1830. He should be around 3 years old.

Age error in the records was about 2-3 years. Konstantin hasn't been born yet or was a newborn.

Hello everyone.
I'm back after a few vacations. I didn't quite understand the debate. I had the impression that it revolved around a word concerning Jankel Gurin. What do I ultimately understand?

Hello. It was about the translation of the word 'мещанин" (meschanin), because some users went for 'tradesman' or even 'bourgeois', while I chose 'burgher' as a historical equivalent of a city community member, which is closer to the Russian term, in my opinion. And it had finally sparked off a little debate.
As, meschanin in Russia (plural, meschane) was a social estate of town/city dwellers, but as it was a legal status (i.e., in law and with certain duties and rights), not an occupation (since, people of different social estate could reside in towns), so we had some discussion of whether words like 'tradesman' are appropriate.

Well, there's a Wiki page on the Russian 'social estates' in English.
Any translation of any foreign historical term is for debate, but I hope it will shed some light on the social system your ancestry lived in

I have one last question. I still have the impression that I have to look at the Nikitsky churches but between 1831 and 1837, there was no longer a Nikitsky archive. What does that mean exactly? The archives have not been digitized? Or do I have to look in others?
