Mendeleev was born in the village of Verkhnie Aremzyani, near Tobolsk in Siberia, to Ivan Pavlovich Mendeleev and Maria Dmitrievna Mendeleeva (née Kornilieva). His grandfather was Pavel Maximovich Sokolov, a priest of the Russian Orthodox Churchfrom the Tver region.[5] Ivan, along with his brothers and sisters, obtained new family names while attending the theological seminary.[6] Mendeleev was raised as an Orthodox Christian, his mother encouraging him to "patiently search divine and scientific truth."[7] His son would later inform that he departed from the Church and embraced a form of deism.[8]
