The Tatar Progeny Zh.M. Sabitov of the Golden Horde Mokhshi M.M. Аkchurin Ulus Population

Abstract

This Article is dedicated to the origin of Tatar Mirzas referring to such lineages as the Akchurins, Kashaevs, Kudashevs, Muratovs, Engalychevs, Enikeevs, Isheevs, Sedekhmetevs, Dashkins, Diveevs, Mansyrevs, Syundyu- kovs, Efaevs, etc. This Tatar Group origin concept is backed up by historical sources, genealogical notes and genetic results.
