Family "Sachnine"

[candice]

I'm searching for my ancestors in Ukraine.
The name of my family is Sachnine and one part lived near Poltava (maybe a small town called Rechetilovka) about 1850.
I have some names: Lazare Sachnine (son of Yvan sachnine and Maria Anna Dorochenko, landowners in Ukraine) was steward of princely lands of the De Graciansky's family. He was married with a first cousin, Sophie Sachnine (daughter of Olga Doubinine and GrИgoire Sachnine, also landowners).
They have given birth to 7 children: AimИe, Sophie,Vera, Alexandre, GrИgoire, Naoum and Ilya Sachnine. The last one have emigrated to France about 1895 to become a doctor. He have found in this country his wife, Sophie Krougliakoff.

If you have some informations about this family in Ukraine, please contact me.
Thank you.

What religion did Sachnine/Sachnin practice?

Assuming that family was Christian Orthodox, checked Mormon Genealogy Library for Poltava Church Records: Orthodox Church. Only available records available on film dated:
1733-1785
1740-1781

There is a copy of book covering Poltava Nobility 1802-1902 available on film, but it is in Russian.
Vault number #127957.

Do a PLACE SEARCH for POLTAVA to see exactly what is available.

Based on the info not available on film, I would strongly suggest an archival inquiry @ Poltavska Oblast Archives. They could probably provide you w/names of siblings' marriage partners and names of their children. That in turn will provide you w/more accurate names for your surviving relatives search. Once you have ascertained some of these names, you can write the village mayor inquiring re any surviving relatives.

PS> Historically the general area around Reshetilovka and south of that was where Cossacks like to winter. There were many Swedish soldiers that stayed behind after the great Battle at Poltava and there is Swedish influence in the area as well.
