Genealogy of the Siberian Bukharians: The Imyaminov Clan
A.K. Bustanov and S.N. Korusenko.
This study was intended as a verifi cation of original Arabic sources (genealogies) by comparing them with census
materials relating to Siberian Tatars of the 18th–19th centuries and with modern genealogies. The article presents a
case study of the Imyaminovs – one of the famous families of Siberian Muslims – and traces the history of the Bukharians
(Bukhara emigrants), who have settled in Siberia since the 16th century. In the 18th century they became a distinct
ethnic and social group, and in the 20th century they were included among Siberian Tatars.
Keywords: Genealogy, Siberian Tatars, Sayids, Hodjas, Siberian Bukharians.
