MILITARY GRAVE YARD OF OLD ODESSA:

E-MAIL  30 AUG 1999
>> Good evening !

I have a list of people buried in the  " Military (War) Necropole of Old Odessa"Over 1 000 are buried there, but the list covers only 300 senior officers & genrals,  of whom 40 have German surnames.  Would it interest the list to have those names ? would you want to place it on Pixel ?  I could translate from Russian. ** of these 40 names, I *think* one can obtain  biographies (miliatry carreer/service records)  If this might interest the Odessa List, please feel free to report there.

Vera's Data Continues.

With my compliments -extracts of German, Gr-Baltic / Swiss names I left out a few Italian and French names though) -

* below I give a synopsis of Russian > German Christian names

** and a hierarchy of top military titles, in case there might be queries

how to translate ranks properly into English.

*** I also give a crash-course in what it all means.

Some of the people with German surnames who are buried at the

< War Necropole of Old Odessa >

ca 1854 - 1914

* Pleaes note, in Russian, one uses "Patronyms"

eg - denoting "son of" ... for a man, this ends in "ovich"

Eg - Adam Ivanovich = Adam + son of Johann + surname

Evgeni - Eugene

Fedor - Theodore

Ivan - Johann

Andre - Andreas

Vasili - Basil

Nikolai - Nickolas

Sergei - Sergius

Vincentii - Vincent

Gregorii - Gregory

Gerorgii - George

(which is very frequently confused in Russia with Gregory)

Samoil - Samuel

Julii - Julius

**

***

Above 4 ranks automatically propelled a man into "nobility" know as service

nobility or military nobility - this is an earned rank, but also is

hereditary, introduced by Peter the Great to democratise the country and

although talented people from the commoners & serfs (bonded labour) to

achieve high rank through dedication to the Empire.

It was also a move to squash the powers of the previous aristocrasy who

were getting to uppity and bossy for the Tzar's liking.

He needed a new (service-orientated) class of people totally loyal to the

Crown, and dependent on his employment in the military or civil service.

Germans, European immigrants and Baltic-German-nobles and as well as simple

soldiers, comfortably slotted into Peter the Great's plans for governing

Russia.

It was their big break to achieve reach high office through talent,

hard-work and dedication. Some Balt-GR were given titles of Barons at this

point, and well-serving Barons were promoted to Counts.

Originally the 1st 8 ranks allowed for "hereditary nobility"

- but the goal posts were later moved to Rank 4.

Below that one had "personal" nobility.
