A genealogical tree for the Konovalov family (in the Nadezhnaya Agricultural Colony line: descendants of Samuil Konovalov (marked as 1875?) via eight children.
Supplemented by other sources and family recollections. The original chart is given for reference. It has been incorporated into the overview page as well. Birth order is not indicated in the chart.
We first give a transcription of the last two lines, which we number from the bottom. For line 1, we add the labels we have assigned on the overview page.

The chart gives
Handwritten annotations add Mikhail's children, identify Leonid and the other Mikhail as Ilya and Samuil respectively, and add their children.
The chart gives
We have combined this with the family history, with the details as to birth order completely unclear.
By coincidence, Ferdman is a name similar to Konoval, in the sense that it means "horseman" in a broad sense. As a name it refers to a profession, possibly coachman.
Fira is presmably a form of Esfir, the Russian equivalent of Esther. Not common as a Jewish name until the 20th century.
We will normally write Shalman but we give the more precise transcription here.
A box around Semyen may mean that he died young.
A box around Ella may mean that she died young.
The logical interpretation of the entry "Fenya Shnaiderman" in the Konovalov chart is that she was born Fanya Konovalov and married Yefim Shnaiderman.
An evacuation record to Tashkent shows Fenya Konoval and Moisei, given as Mosya. This is promising but if one adopts that, with Samuil as the father, difficulties result. Perhaps they can be resolved.
About 441 Shneydermans were evacuated from the Ukraine, and a number of Yefim Shneydermans with birth years in and around 1911 died inthe war. But none show plausible matches to the known details.
A better understanding of the meaning of the chart (and, in particular, its meaning for the Vinnik family member who created it) might help.
Source: From Mikhail Konovalov via Alisa Konovalov. Apparently supplied by one of the Vinniks in 1995, with annotations by hand by Mikhail.
