FW: "Arkhangelsk" database


Stefan Wisniowski
 

I am forwarding a message from Alexander Gur'yanov with a very generous
offer to assist anybody in the group seeking original file information on
their deported families from the former Soviet archives.

Alexander is on the "Polish Committee" of the Memorial Society in Moscow -
which is a group acting in the cause of the memory of the millions of people
repressed by the Soviet system.

I believe that the main file he has access to is from the Archangel
archives, but there may be other sources on other regions as well.

Subject: "Arkhangelsk" database

Moscow, 27.10.2001
Dear Stefan,
Unfortunately, some temporary problems appeared with including the
"Arkhangelsk" database to our website. The principal obstacle is that the
database contains a lot of errors and distorted informations (even surnames)
which may be rather difficult to recognize and to restore its proper values
by visitors of website.
It means that we need to continue our verification of the "Arkhangelsk"
database by comparing to a lot of different archive sources. Up to now the
main and almost only source is the card index in the
archives of Arkhangelsk Interior Affairs Office. Such a verification is a
great piece of work.
Now we begin to cooperate with Center KARTA (Warsaw) in verification of the
"Arkhangelsk"
database. Center KARTA will verify it with polish archives sources. It will
be possible to expose the database only after the verification will be
finished.

My promise to expose it soon appers to be premature, I am sorry very much!

In this situation I will seek for family records of the members of your
group by myself and answer the individual requests in the same way as I have
answered (in Polish) your own request or request of Mark Terech. It will be
better if any interested person will send the request directly to my E-mail
address gurpolcom@...

You may also direct your requests to Center KARTA in Warsaw:
indeks@...

I would like to remind, that if everybody from your group needs the official
archives
certificate, we are ready to send the requests to the archives in each
region in former USRR. But the
signed letter from the person interested in the certificate is necessary for
us to do it.
Please, send these requests (preferably in Polish) to our postal address:

Polish Committee of the "Memorial" Society,
Russia, 103051 Moscow, Malyi Karetnyi Pereulok 12.

We need the following data being contained in the request (of course, if
possible):
1. Surname, name, and father's name of repressed person, the year and place
of birth (in the case of deportation - for all the members of deported
family, with indication of the familiar relationship);

2. Place of living before arrest or depotation;
3. The time of arrest or deportation;
4. The kind of repression (arrest, sentence and imprisonment in penal labour
camps, or deportation without any sentence);
5. The most important for us: the regions of staying in camps or in exile in
the former USSR (especially the last place);
6. The time and place of discharge or the death;
7. The relationship of interested person to repressed person.

With the best regards - Alexander Gur'yanov



 

Hi Alexander,
Thank you for providing the opportunity to follow up file information
on deported family members.
My problem is, and maybe someone else in the group can help me here,
that a) I don't know where my grandmother was sent to in Kazakhstan b)
I don't know her date of birth (though do know her father's name) and
c)don't know the date she died.
Anyone else in a similar situation who has had some success with
finding out the seemingly impossible?
Grace

Alexander, do you have any databases that could hold clues to Zofia Pundyk
(from the house of Stratkowska), who was taken from Kolomyja in 1940 to a
camp in Kazakhstan, where we believe she died? As she had a son in 1921,
she was probably born between 1880 and 1905. Her husband was a sergeant in
the Polish army, but was not there to be deported - he somehow ended up in
Scotland.
