As a follow-up to my last post on this topic I've asked Google about the
Nabokovs, Google being a simple solution to most queries these days, and found
in Wikipedia that
Ivan Aleksandrovich Nabokov (_Russian_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_language) : Иван Александрович Набоков) (_11 March_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_11) _1787_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1787) – _21
April_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_21) _1852_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1852) ) was a _Russian_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia) _Adjutant
general_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjutant_general) and general of
_infantry_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infantry) prominent during the
_Napoleonic wars_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleonic_wars) . ..... Nabokov
came from an old noble family based in the _Novgorod_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novgorod) governorate, where his father general _Alexander Nabokov_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexander_Nabokov&action=edit) was a
landowner. ....Ivan Nabokov died _21 April_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_21) _1852_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1852) in _Saint Petersburg_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Petersburg) and was buried in the Peter and
Paul Fortress, near _Peter and Paul Cathedral_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_and_Paul_Cathedral) . His brother Nikolay was a progenitor of the novelist
_Vladimir Nabokov_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Nabokov) .
So it seems that the Nabokovs must have been aristocracy, although one would
still like to have reference to some Almanac de Russie, or similar.
