Vera! According to the ctalogue it is "The list of those who were granted nobility in Donskoi Army". This file has no date (!), and I promised you to look through the file of the year 1897. Such files are usually very large, like a very thick book, which consists of lists of noble people of various years. It may contain a very large numder of sheets. Unfortunately I cannot do this. I just do not have enough time for that at the moment
Are you completely sure that this file contains information about the people in question?
This is my family definitely. I come from very famous Don Cossacks, the Kirsanovs. I got the file number from a book written by my fifth cousin, once removed. It was written in English. I gave you the file number as it was written as a source. I do not understand this.
Does have criminal records for convicts? My great-grandfather is listed on http://narodnaya-volya.ru/document/process21.php for serving 4 months in prison. I was told great-grandpa served time in ́ ́. I am not sure where he served time. Any help would be appreciated.
