# Alexander Zhmuydya

**Evidence status: unverified.** Published trees give him the dates 1778 to 1834. He would be the father of Falk, the line's first documented ancestor.

1778 – 1834 · Third proposed generation

## Summary

- Born: 1778
- Died: 1834
- Status: Undocumented

## Family

- Father: Yehuda Zhmuydya — https://smud.mateosmud.xyz/en/people/yehuda-zhmuydya/
- Children: Falk Zhmood — https://smud.mateosmud.xyz/en/people/falk-zhmood/

## What is known

This is the generation just above the documented line, and so the one it would matter most to confirm.

The document that would settle it exists and has been located: an 1816 census of Ludza, held in the historical archive in Minsk, where Falk would be about nineteen and would appear identified by his father's name.
