Nilogov A.S. The genealogy of the Kungur family the Archugovs

Abstract: The object of this study is the author’s family lineage, currently numbering more than a thousand recovered names with direct ancestry. The research subject is focused specifically on the Archugov family, which has been successfully traced through documents to the middle of the 17th century in the Kaigorodskiy and Kungursky uesdzs of Great Perm. The author examines various hypotheses pertaining to the etymology of the family name “Archugov”, traces the settlement paths of members of the Archugov family in the Ural and Siberia, and gives a short list of his own ancestors from the line of Archugovs using archival primary sources (RSAAA, SAPK). The article uses such research methods as the genealogical, hermeneutical, historical, source criticism, chronological, etymological, as well as the method on anti-linguistic reconstruction. For the first time the Perm family of “the Archugovs” is described in great detail, the origin of which is traced to the middle of the 17th century. During the course of the genealogical examination the author was able to establish that the family of the Archugovs divided itself already at the end of the 17th century, part of it remaining in the Perm governorate, while the other part moved to the Tobol governorate. In the middle of the 20th century one of the Kungursky members of the family – the author’s grandfather Ilya Vasilyevich Archugov – intermarried with the Siberian Aleksandra Ivanovna Trunova.
