| * Indicates other possible dates; various source materials are in disagreement on the time of activity. About the year 1872, hundreds of thousands of documents in Russian governmental archives were intentionally destroyed to save space. The demise of these records left a scarcity of original source documentation upon which modern researchers could base their findings. Parenthetical date endings, such as 1804(06), indicate that different sources disagree as to the date. In practice, most dates should be presumed tentative. |
