Prikhody.ru 09.11.2026. As part of the “Everyone Has a Pedigree” club, a thematic meeting of Severstal veterans took place with the chairman of the commission for canonization of devotees of piety of the Cherepovets diocese, priest Sergius Bondar. Participants got acquainted with metric books - one of the most important sources for finding information about ancestors.

Particular attention was paid to methods of searching for information about clergy and clergy in documents of the pre-revolutionary period, as well as after the revolution of 1917, the diocese’s public reports. Veterans of production were able to ask questions related to the study of family history and archival search.

The conversation helped to better understand what documents can become a starting point in genealogy research, and once again reminded how important it is to carefully preserve family memory for future generations.

The post Severstal veterans learned how to find their ancestors using parish registers appeared first on PARISHES.
