  • Notes 
    • It is believed by many that Dmitry Scherbatoff escaped from captivity (through the help of servants and/or friends) after his family was arrested in 1921. That he fled to Siberia and changed his name to Vasily Kuzmich Shcherbakov, becoming a brilliant scientist and teacher, hiding his origins for sixty years while claiming to have been born in Ujeka Yenisei Provence as "a peasant" -- only revealing his true identity to his wife and children shortly before his own death in 1981.

      Some branches of the family believe this to be true while others believe that he died with his mother and sister in Smolensk. I am including the wife and sons of Vasily Shcherbakov here for ease of research. To see some more information about this line, follow the link in the first source below.
