Birth – Pskov, Russia – 1897


Below is a page of birth records in a column/table format. This document records births from a historical region called the Slobodsky volost, which was part of the Pskovsky uyezd within the Pskov Governorate of the Russian Empire. The territory once encompassed by the volost is now divided between southeastern Estonia and northwestern Russia. The former administrative center, Verkhoustye, is modern-day Värska, Estonia.

The following is a transcription of the document. Each column corresponds to the columns in the original document. The first two rows correspond to the headings and each row after that corresponds to a new entry.

Note: The last column of the document has been omitted from the transcription and translation, as filling it out was optional and thus left blank on the original document. The final column heading on the document reads, "Рꙋкоприкладство свидѣтелей записи по желанїю," which is translated as "Signatures of the witnesses of the record as desired."
