Name

[edit]

This article was recently moved from Registered Cossacks to Registry Cossacks. I'll revert this move; Google Books gives not a single hit for "Registry Cossacks", but over 500 for "Registered Cossacks". The term is used by Magocsi, Subtelny and others. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:58, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do women not register?

[edit]

The lead says "....a Registered Cossack is every man, who is recorded in an official Russian or Polish registry as Cossack". Do women not register? Moriori (talk) 23:46, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is no historical evidence of any limitations for women our younger ladies. However for most of the time registered cossacks were males. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 12:27, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
