Vassilyevka was in the Naumenko Colony. This colony was located in the Kharkov Province about 60 km northwest of the Borissovo Colony. The Naumenko Colony was founded in 1889 as a daughter colony of both the Molotschna and Chortitza Colonies. The colony is shown on a map in the Mennonite Encyclopedia, V. 4, p. 382. Most of the people listed in the Vassilyevka Census were originally from the Chortitza Colony, although some were also from the Yazykovo Colony and the Molotschna Colony.
The file containing this document was microfilmed in 1991 under the direction of Professor Harvey Dyck. The following archives hold copies of the microfilms of this material: the Mennonite Heritage Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba; the Mennonite Historical Society of British Columbia, Clearbrook, B. C.; the Robarts Library and the Center for Russian and East European Studies, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario; the Mennonite Archives of Ontario, Waterloo, Ontario; and the Mennonitische Forschungstelle, Weierhof, Germany.
The initial translation of the census data was done by Nikolai Mazharenko in June, 2001. I have edited his translation to provide better clarity and have corrected some errors he made in his translation. In addition, I have standardized the spellings of both the given names and surnames of the people listed in the census. Rick Rye has assisted me in translating specific words that were difficult to read. Richard Thiessen has added a column in which he has entered the Grandma numbers for the heads of families who appear in the Grandma 3 database.
If you have any questions about any of this data feel free to contact Richard Thiessen or me.
