Статистико-хронологико-историческое описание Таврической епархии. Общий и частный обзор

Description of the Tauride diocese by the cathedral archpriest Mikhail Rodionov (Simferopol, 1872). After a general survey it gives an alphabetical description of towns and villages: for each town, village or colony of the Berdiansk, Dnieper, Melitopol, Perekop and Crimean districts it records the origin of the name, where and when the first settlers came from (migrants from Poltava, Kursk and other provinces, Bulgarians, etc.), the history of the prayer house and church, the number of parishioners by sex in various years and the attached hamlets. Valuable for tracing the origins of families in Northern Tavria and Crimea.
