Surname-history sources (First Tokmakovs)

Sources behind the early surname branches shown in the First Tokmakovs branch atlas. None of them establishes descent to the modern family.

• Vitaly V. Penskoy, 'The Most Powerful in Israel: Prince Yu. I. Tokmakov'

  peer reviewed academic article

  Moscow City University Journal of Historical Studies, 2023, No. 4 (52) · DOI 10.25688/20-76-9105.2023.52.4.02 · Supports: Yuri Ivanovich Tokmakov's career under Ivan IV; Yuri entering the inner circle of trusted persons of Ivan IV; Ivan Vasilyevich Tokmak serving under Vasily III and dying before 1550.

• Velvet Book: Velyaminov and Nozdrevaty/Tokmakov genealogies

  historical genealogical compilation transcription

  Supports: Timofey Velyaminovich nicknamed Tokmak and his recorded descendants; Prince Vasily Nozdrevaty to Ivan Tokmak to Yuri and Vasily.

• Tokmakovs on the south-western frontier in the 17th century, based on RGADA inventories

  researcher archive inventory transcription

  Supports: Documented Tokmakov service and estate records in Odoev and Novosil districts from 1596 through the late 17th century; Multiple separate Tokmakov surname clusters; Peter Ivanov son Tokmakov recorded in service in 1596; Later documented descendants in Odoev and Novosil. · Treat the cited archival appearances as research leads/secondary transcription until original RGADA images or certified copies are attached. Do not convert the researcher's reconstructed common-parent hypotheses into solid relationships.

New evidence levels

• Academic historical analysis

  A modern peer-reviewed historical study reconstructs the person's role or career from historical records.

• Historical genealogical compilation

  Relationship is recorded in a recognised historical genealogy such as the Velvet Book or Vlasyev's genealogical work.

• Archival index / transcription

  A published researcher transcription or inventory cites named archival files, but the original archival image is not yet attached to this project.

• Research hypothesis

  A proposed relationship based on chronology, patronymic or geographic pattern; not a genealogy edge.

• Documented branch ended

  Historical genealogical sources record the relevant descendant as childless or the line as extinguished.

• Connection not proven

  No documentary evidence currently bridges the two branches.

Research priorities

1. Obtain the original RGADA documents behind the 1596–1699 Odoev and Novosil records, to upgrade them from archive-index transcription to direct archival evidence.
2. Search for any migration or kinship bridge between a western Tokmakov branch and Prokopiy Tokmakov c.1671 in Nerchinsk. No such link is assumed.
3. Continue the Mikhail 1906 father research: birth/baptism record, archive case R-2683 and parish material.
4. Resolve the exact Alexander ↔ Fedor kinship, and the Katherine / Northern Territory branch's relationship to the modern Alexander Mikhailovich line.
5. Extend living branches only from family-approved information. Nothing about living people is scraped.

Open questions

These gaps are recorded rather than filled in. Nothing on this site guesses a parent, a spouse or a bridge between branches.

1. 1Identify the exact parents of Mikhail Konstantinovich Tokmakov from his 1906 birth/baptism or repression file R-2683.
2. 2Confirm or exclude Konstantin Abramovich Tokmakov (1844) as Mikhail's father.
3. 3Find Elikanida Panteleevna's maiden surname, dates, birthplace and the names of her two sisters.
4. 4Find dates and towns for Lydia, Julia, Olga and Irina Mikhailovna Tokmakova.
5. 5Transcribe the small modern branches from higher-resolution close-ups of the top-left and bottom-right areas of the paper tree.
6. 6Do not merge historical Alexander Mikhailovich Tokmakovs with Alexander born 4 August 1948.
