• • Please contact the profile manager prior to making significant changes to the naming of this profile. The naming convention is according to the practices of the parents who were part of the Russian serf class. This means family members could be sent away (sold) to work other noblemen’s properties (consider this as a form of white slavery). As such, children were given a single name and the initial of the mother’s maiden (last) name as a way to identify where the child came from. This name convention applied to males only (in general) as females were considered expendable in most cases. Also marriages back then were set up by the ruling noble class and were not a choice of the marital partners.**
