Confirmation of the titles of nobility by Bessarabian nobles in the first half of the 19th century: The noble family of Frunzetti (Frunză)

After the annexation of the territory between the Dniester and Prut, the tsarist administration sought to attract the Bessarabian nobility. The main method to solve this problem was the accession of the Bessarabian nobility to the Russian nobility. However, achievement of this goal required not only time, but also a lot of effort on the part of the Bessarabian boyars, who had to confirm not only their aristocratic origins, ancestry and titles, but also the ownership of the lands they owned before the annexation. Therefore, for many years Bessarabian nobles had to provide the Russian administration with the documents of their noble origin.
