Subsequent entries list the birthdays of all their children. Yevdokiya Ivanovna indicated not only the date and time, but also the exact place each child was born. For example, the eldest daughter Maria was born in a house which belonged to Sharapov’s lithography (Kravtsova’s house at the Smolensky Market), Nikolay — in a house at the Smolensky market that belonged to their own lithography, Vasily and Vladimir — already on Pyatnitskaya Street in their house, and Yevdokiya and Pyotr — in the house on Valovaya Street, Ivan — at Noyev’s dacha (country house), Dmitry — at Vishnyakov’s dacha. All the events and names associated with the children were recorded — the name day, the church where the newborn was baptized, sometimes even the name of the priest. From 1890, the Sytin family lived in the parish of the Glorious Resurrection Church in Monetchiki (not preserved), and the children were baptized there.

In addition, Yevdokiya Ivanovna Sytina wrote down the names of the godparents. So, for example, the godfather of Maria was Mikhail Dmitrievich Naumov, a bookseller whom Sytin knew from the Nikolsky market, and the godmother was Praskovya Andreyevna Orlova. Joyful events were followed by sad ones: in 1906, the eldest daughter Maria died, and in December 1915, the family buried Vladimir. The weddings of their son Ivan in 1912 and daughter Yevdokiya in 1917 were also mentioned in the notebook.

Apparently, later, a relative put down the dates of the death of all Yevdokiya’s children to clarify her records.
