Мельников Пётр Авраамиевич
probably a brother of great-great-grandfather Sergiy Avraamievich
Birth: BET 1858 AND 1876
A peasant of Chernyaevka. In September 1897 he and his wife P[araskeva?] Semyonova had a daughter, Sofia, and a week later he stood godfather to his niece Evfrosinia, Sergiy's daughter (S760). Part of his patronymic is lost in the binding — it reads “Av…amov” — so the link to Avraamiy Fedotov is probable, not proven. His daughter's godmother was the wife of Grigory Yakovlev Melnikov, Nadezhda's probable brother.
