Ellis Island Passenger Manifest project

In 2015 as part of a Ukraine Special Interest Group project, the Ellis Island records of passengers who seem to be from Dashev are being re-indexed with the addition of who in North America they intended to see and (after 1906) whether they still had a contact from their country of origin.    If you have surnames to look for, please review this list.
To see a chart of arrivals by year it is here.

Not all immigrants from Dashev entered through Ellis Island. While these ports have indexed arrivals, they are not searchable by town name.   When we have encountered records that are specific to Dashev, we have begun a pair of lists.

Voter Lists for the 1907 Duma (Parliament)

The Duma Lists contain the names of citizens eligible to vote for members of the Russian parliament (the Duma) in the early 1900's. Who constituted an eligible voter varied from region to region and from Duma to Duma, but always consisted of a male citizen over twenty-four years of age who also, typically, met a specified property ownership requirement.

There were four Duma election periods: 1st: Jan 1906 to Apr 1906, 2nd: Dec 1906 to Feb 1907, 3rd: Sep 1907 to Oct 1907, 4th: Sep 1912 to Oct 1912. All the records for Dashev carry the 1907 date.
