$1000 needed for Armenian Molokan Directory |
| Alexei Sandykov needs at least
$300 for a printer and paper to get started on the first phone
directory of Molokans in Armenia. He plans to include a list of all
villages, churches, cemeteries; and maybe maps, history and photos
depending on funding and costs. It is hoped that American and Australian Molokan-Jumpers will pre-buy 100 books at $10 each to give him at least $1000 he needs to fund this exciting new project. He wants to travel to northern Armenia to find and photo abandoned villages and churches. He's been photographing gravemarkers at the three Molokan cemeteries in Erevan. He wants to inlcude lots of genealogical and demographic information which takes time to collect. See Molokan Old Cemetery, Charbakh, Yerevan, Armenia — 79 photos by Alexei Sandikov. Alexei is very capable and anxious to complete this
project. With his
cousins he created the Sandykov
genealogy website which has a short history of Molokans in the
Caucasus, his family family tree and a list of all founding families of
Shorzha village.In July Alexei got called into the Army and will serve for the next 2 years. In the meantime his wife will carry on with the directory project. Click on photo to enlarge. The Arizona church will collect prepayments for increments of 5 directories for $50, or 10 directories for $100. Anything less is a donation for no books. When the books arrive next year, we will forward them to you. The Church of Spiritual Molokans
