RAKOV 1874 DRAFT LIST
Thanks to Vitaly Charny for his review of records for Rakov, Belarus in a Russian language source. The records that were reviewed came from the "Minskie Gubernskie Vedomosti" of 1874.
The vedomosti were pre-revolutionary local governmental newspapers published throughout the Russian Empire largely between 1838 and 1917. The vedomosti were first published in 1838 in 42 Gubernias (provinces), including Minsk, by order of the Tsar. In 1838 the first local newspaper, Minskie gubernskie vedomosti (“Minsk province news”) went into circulation.
Material from the gubernskie vedomosti has been used over the years in many scholarly works in history, economics and philology, with many researchers making use of the excellent collection of microfilms of gubernskie vedomosti in the National Library of Russia in St. Petersburg. The National Library of Russia http://www.nlr.ru/eng/ contains a collection of all the newspapers which appeared in the Soviet Union in Russian, Ukrainian and Belorussian. This collection served as a source for the collection of the microfilms. The microfilms are available in some public libraries and universities libraries in the USA.
The source for this particular list is: "Minskie Gubernskie Vedomosti" #43 of 1874 - Minsk Gubernia official newspaper.
The following 1874 Draft List was utilized for identifying men to draft into the army.
