The report sounds interesting. That they are celebrating 20 years of the Tsaritsyn Genealogical Society in a library is a good thing, it shows that they are keeping the history of the families alive. How many years has the historian who is also a member of the Palatine Association been working?

Ζωή Αναγνώστου

Yes, I agree, the report shows that genealogy is not just on paper. The historian you mentioned is Alexander Sergeev, he has been working on such archives for over 15 years. Have you ever looked for your family from Cyprus?

Χριστίνα Θεοδώρου

Yes, Alexander Sergeev is one of the most consistent in this project. I have searched a bit on my father's side from Thessaloniki, I found a grandfather who had come from Pontus in 1922, but I always stop at the papers of Agios Dimitrios. You from Cyprus have you found something specific, like a village or a profession?

The exhibition in the Gorky Library sounds really useful. 20 years of the Tsaritsyn Genealogy Society, keeping family stories alive. The historian Alexander Sergeyev seems to have been there for over 15 years - it would be interesting to see whether he also found Serbian roots in Volgograd.
