	My great grandfather was from Russia (grandma was illegitimate but we found his name from an affiliation order in 1900) .he is on 1891 and 1901 census but can't find him after that .Just wonder if he got naturalized might he also have changed his name .? UPDATE;found his photo on naturalisation document ; Not bad when we started with just a surname ; UPDATe Dec 2014 we now have names for 10 Russian aunts + uncles that Nana Maisie never knew (only 3 first names still to find) ; we've even got 4 probable married names for some aunts . Some 1st first names differed between latvia- prestwich -birkenhead+brooklyn see thread " jewish names" http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1345669 UPDATE oct 2015 : have made contact with 1 descendant still need some with discrepencies mostly USA research see last page 5
