Dear all,
In the spirit of offering up something geographically diverse and non-royal-centric (following on from the current discussion on the same topic), I thought I'd post a transcription of a document which has intrigued ever since I came across it a few years ago. The item in question is a certain "tablitsa predkov Leva Nikolaevicha Tolstogo", literally a table of ancestors of the well-known writer, but arranged in the traditional trente-deux quartiers style. I've seen it pop up in various places around the internet and a reasonably high resolution copy can currently be found at:
http://tolstoy.ru/life/family/family-tree/
Stylistically, it's difficult to place. I'm tempted to say it might actually be quite a recent composition, but the addition of Tolstoy's dates in a later hand could - perhaps - suggest it's a lifetime production. Either way, I've transcribed and translated the text of the document below and offer it up for what it's worth. Apologies in advance for any vagaries of Cyrillic to Latin transliteration or any translation errors (I'm sure there are abundencies of both!).
All the best,
Kelsey

Dear all,
A first tentative stab at elaborating this pedigree and getting us back into properly medieval territory. The Eropkins were a boyar family with alleged Rurikid descent and a skeletal pedigree of the family is given in Prince Petr Dolgorukov's _Rossiiskaya Rodoslovnaya Kniga_, 4 vols. (St. Petersburg, 1854-1857), iv. 8-11, the first printed compilation of Russian noble genealogies. Unfortunately, genealogies of early modern Russians tend to be sketchy and male-centric most of the time, but there's still enough here to bring us a few generations further back:

100. Aleksei Pavlovich Eropkin (Dolgorukov, iv. 9, no. 37).

400. Fedor Andreevich Eropkin (Dolgorukov, iv. 8, no. 19).

12800. Afanasii Ivanovich Eropkin (Dolgorukov, iv. 8, no. 2). He was executed for his supposed part in a conspiracy, 27 December 1497 on the ice of the River Moscow (see https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%95%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BD,_%D0%90%D1%84%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%98%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87).
25600. Ivan Ostafievich Eropka (Dolgorukov, iv. 8, no. 1). The name-father of this family and supposedly a descendant of the Princes of Smolensk, though I'd like to some better evidence for this.
