Hello, Private User, Private User, Private User i'd lke to change the first wife of Vassili. As this is quite a change I prefer to discuss it here before taking any action.
My researches lead me to the following documents which state that his wife was not Anna Dmitrievna Sokownin but Anna Mikhailovna Sokownin.
For now we only know 2 Anna Mikhailovna, the first is too old and is well known so it can not be her. The second seems to be a good match as her estimated birthdate seems to match for a union with him and her branch of the sokownin relates to the documetns I found, she is the daugther of Mikhail Mikailovich Sokownin. Unfortunately i didn't found yet documents that confirm that she is the one, even if the probability is rather high. So we have two options, add an Anna Mikhailovna Sokownin with unknown ancestors or link the existing Anna Mikhaiovna which by me is probably the good one, but we still need to confirm it. So here are links to the documents I found. Let me know what course of action you would like to take. by the way I'm not very comfortable to make such a wide change on the geni platform. Technically it seems complicated as it impacts also their children.
