The paper, written in the framework of the CIR project (Corpus of Russian inscriptions / Corpus Inscriptionum Rossicorum), summarises the preliminary results of the study of the complex of white stone tombstones from the unique historical, cultural and architectural monument of the late 17th century – the ancestral tomb of the Gotovtsevs, Galich noble family in the village of Likurga of Buy district of Kostroma Region. It has preserved 11 white stone tombstones with epitaphs, the earliest of which dates the late 16th to the early 17th century, while the latest, 1725. The inscriptions on the tombstones contain important material on the genealogy of Galich branch of the noble family of the Gotovtsevs, up to its suppression in the fi rst quarter of the 18th century. The Annex to the paper publishes the oldest tombstone with the epitaph to Davyd Urakov, son of Gotovets.
