Some married into the Russian Orthodox faith. Their full names and birth years can be found in our Ancestor Tree at <A target="_blank" href="index.html">The Family of Felitsian Mazurkiewicz</A>.  We are first cousins, both grandchildren of Moses. Please visit our website, just in case something there may seem familiar to you or to your family members.  Many of Felitsian's grandchildren settled in Brooklyn NY during 1890-1915, and the youngest generation in that tree were mostly born in New York.  But Felitsian may have had brothers, sisters, other children, or cousins that we know nothing about who may have settled elsewhere in the US, or elsewhere in the world. We are trying to locate them. <BR> <BR> <BR> <FONT size="4"> <FONT color="#FF0000">Christl</FONT> · <FONT size="2"><A href="mailto:Christl <von-der-kaisereiche@web.de>">Email</A> <FONT size="2"> <BR> <BR> SURNAMES: Miron, None (von der None) <BR> <BR> We are looking for descendants of Christian (Christoph?) Miron, Maria Miron nee None, Konstantin Miron born about 1876-1878, Joseph Miron, and Adolf Miron who immigrated 1909 to the USA at age 25, all from Minsk, Koidanov, or Nareijki (Narejki). We are the German children and grandchildren of Konstantin Miron who was a WW1 prisoner in Germany. We are also looking for the grave sites of Christian Miron and his wife Maria nee None, and also for the family of a Miron brother who was chief of the Minsk Railway Station around 1910-1920. The Miron family was Roman Catholic. Their farm, in 1920-1922, was located exactly on the Polish-Russian border, which divided their land from their house. Konstantin Miron owned the farm. We would be happy to find information about our family or get in contact with our relatives. <BR> <BR> <BR> <FONT size="4"> <FONT color="#FF0000">Colleen</FONT> · <FONT size="2"><A href="mailto:Colleen <colleen@identifinders.com>">Email</A> <FONT size="2"> <BR> <BR> SURNAMES: Galperin, Gilgenberg, Panok <BR> <BR> As part of my research for a book, I am searching for anyone who lived in Koidanov (Dzerzhinsk) in the 1930 and 1940s.
