The mother of all Russian name books (some
857 pages of mostly pre-1600 names). This book is broken into three sections:
masculine names, feminine names (only four pages!) and patronymics -- all
arranged alphabetically. It is as reliable as a secondary source can be expected
to be.

The
abstract is in English and gives the title as "The Personal Name of Inhabitants
from the Villages near Kielce." It includes 850 names (589 masculine and 261
feminine). The good news is that the article gives full names as recorded. The
bad news is that there is no index by given names and many of the names are
post-period.
