Galochkin

[mark_]

A bit of an update for anyone who can help. According to Boris' Naturalisation papers, Boris was born 2nd May 1878 at Kalacevo Village in the Shire of Ardatowo in the town of Simbirski State of Goobermy (not sure if the spelling is correct). His fathers name was George. Boris arrived in Brisbane 13th January 1913 at New Farm Wharf Brisbane on the ship SS Empire. Boris wife was called Anna and her former surname was Malakoff,Makaloff,Makalaff, Makoloff, born Irkoots, Siberia. I have a record of a passenger list for the SS Empire showing Boris name and that he got on the boat at Moji, Japan. How he got there is also interesting because I cannot find information on that yet. I am presuming that Anna and her daughter came by ship from Japan but I cannot find any records for her. Hope that is helpful. Thanks

MY GUESS IS THAT BORIS WENT FROM KULYACEVO > SIMBIRSKAYA GUBERNIA TO IRKUTSK (Baikal Area)> TO HARBIN (China)TO MOJI PORT (Japan) TO BRISBANE(Australia)???

According to Boris' Naturalisation papers, Boris was born 2nd May 1878 at Kalacevo Village in the Shire of Ardatowo in the town of Simbirski State of Goobermy (not sure if the spelling is correct).

Turn of century Kalacevo/KULYASOVO
( 54.34-4.04 - 15.7 miles NW of district center Ardatovo)> Ardatovskij raion > Simbirskaya Guberniya/Region > Czarist Russia

Today Kulyasovo still exists > Ardatovskij raion > MORDOVIA - Central Region of Russian Federation, 356 miles ESE of Moscow.

MORDOVIA [Mordovia] , Mordovian Republic , or Mordva Republic , constituent republic (1990 est. pop. 965,000), c.10,000 sq mi (25,900 sq km), E European Russia. Once a densely forested steppe, it consists of the Volga upland in the east and the Oka-Don lowland in the west. Agricultural processing and the manufacture of machinery, furniture, paper, and wood chemicals are the major industries in the Saransk (region capital) Areas. Beekeeping, cattle and sheep raising, grain, hemp, potatoes, and flax agriculture are long-established economic activities in the Ardatov proximities. Saransk , the capital, and Ardatov are the major cities. The population is composed mainly of Russians (60%), Mordovians (33%), and Tatars (5%). The Mordovians (Rus. Mordva ) speak a Finno-Ugric language and are Orthodox Christians. The Mordovians were first mentioned by the Gothic historian Jordanes in the 6th cent. AD They were land tillers and herders, with close ties to the Slavs. In the mid-13th cent. they came under the political control of the Golden Horde and, when it disintegrated, passed to the Kazan khanate. Russia annexed the territory of the Mordovians in 1552. The Mordovian Autonomous SSR, also known as the Mordovian Autonomous SSR, was formed in 1934. It was a signatory, under the name Mordva Republic, to the Mar. 31, 1992, treaty that created the Russian Federation

I would e-mail Madame Baikova and ask if this is the place to obtain your Grandfather's birth certificate. Provide her w/village name and district and birth date. If so, ask what the cost would be to also get a list of siblings etc. These records are not available online or thru LDS. Once you have ascertained names of Grandfather's siblings, consider writing Village Administrator and inquiring re any surviving family still residing in the village.

Hi, and thanks Hannia for you information. Is Galochkin roots Russian as my mother used to talk about Boris being a soldier in the Napolenic war and was left wounded and stayed in Russia. Is that a fairy tale or possible?

Napoleon invaded Russia in 1812.

Yurij was born in 1878. Each generation is appx 20 yrs. Maybe Boris' GGrandfather participated in the Napoleonic Wars??? Sometimes family legend gives the wrong ancestor credit. Only way to find out for sure is to have an archival search done. The surname does not strike me as French rooted.

Hi, I was wondering whether Makaloff or Malakoff was a common name in Irkstuk or in the Kulyacevo area. According to her husbands naturalistion papers in Australia Anna was born there? Anna had a child that was born deaf and so moved to Australia around 1915. My mother said that they moved to Irkstuk and lived on her brothers farm while her husband Boris Galochkin worked on the Trans Siberian Railways. He finished working for the railways when he decided to go to Australia in late 1912. Thanks

On July 3 1907, the Board of Ministers approved the suggestions of the Rauilway Ministry concerning building the second track on the Siberian railway and reconstructing the road in some places. Under the direct leadership of A.V. Liverovskiy the work on the Achinsk - Irkutsk and Chelyabinsk - Irkutsk sections of the railway began. The goal was to lower the gradient of the railway in some rocky regions and to build the second track. In 1909, the Siberian road on the distance of 3274 km became a two-way railway. In 1913 a second track was built to Baikal and from Baikal to Karymskaya station. During the process of increasing the railway's capacity many new brunches and new sections were built.
