I may have to wait for more of this stuff to get posted online.

If his livelihood was what brought him to Lydia's hometown, that would mean she'd have to live in a coastal area, too--though you're right: it doesn't necessarily have to be the same place as where he came from.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-82945456490572242632014-03-13T22:46:33.798-07:002014-03-13T22:46:33.798-07:00Lydia may be a challenge to figure out.

It's so frustrating to finally find someone in governmental records--only to discover the bureaucrat was suffering from a grave case of typezian or something...<br /><br />Thanks for the tip on Theodore = Teodor, Iggy.

Patronimics include Fedorov, Fedorova (there's the feminine), Fyodorov, Fyodorova, Fedorovitch, Fyodorovitch. <br /><br />And in case you're ever on Genealogy Jeopardy, Anthony Fedorov was in the top 4 of American Idol the year Carrie Underwood won. He was born in the Ukraine.
