Abstract
Aim. To form an idea of the peculiarities of studying by domestic authors the genealogy of the House of Romanov (starting with Emperor Peter III) in the 19th – early 20th centuries.
Methodology. The complex of domestic historiography of the 19th – early 20th centuries dedicated to the genealogy of the Russian Imperial House starting with Emperor Peter III is analyzed.
Results. Conclusions are drawn that the study of the Romanov genealogy was used for practical recording of data on kinship (mainly during the 19th century) and for scientific purposes. Some authors of genealogical studies about the Romanovs pursued political goals.
Research implication. The article summarizes the main historiographical material, including works stored in Russian archives and not introduced into scientific circulation.
