Nizhnekamsk district joins «Yadker» genealogy project

The Nizhnekamsk district in Tatarstan has joined the «Yadker» genealogy project. As part of this, a meeting was held in the district with the participation of Gulnara Gabdrakhmanova, head of the State Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan for Archival Affairs. The event was reported by the local outlet «Nizhnekamsk News».

Radmir Belyaev took part in the meeting, which invited local history researchers, teachers, culture workers, imams and representatives of village settlements. The main task is to organise the collection of family genealogy information in villages. To do this, responsible people must be designated and helped to search for, process and convert information into electronic format.

The district has already achieved results in this area: Mansur Ganiev compiled the district's family tree. Belyaev said that such a project is especially important during the period when the city marks its 60th anniversary. The genealogies are expected to preserve collected information, strengthen links between generations and help young people better understand their roots. Anyone who wishes may take part in the project.
