I was a misson team in 1998 from Kentucky that helped build the church. It is so wonderful to see how much God is blessing. I am so glad I found your site.

Perhaps no family is left, but if anyone should find that out, please let me know so I can stop my search.

My Russian family was torn apart during WWI and the subsequent Russian Civil War, etc. My grandfather Aleksei (Alex, Alexander) Safronov (born in 1888) left Slobodische , Russia in 1913 to work as a contracted laborer in Homestead, Pennsylvania. The purpose was to make money and to ride out the war that everyone assumed was coming. He left behind in Russia, a wife, Evdonkia (perhpas Evdokia) and four children. His father's name was Ruzma, mother Ieren. The chidlren were Pratsoveya, Marie and Mary and we think a son whose name we are not sure of. My grandfater made an attempt to return to Russia in the 1920's after he became an American citizen, but we don't think he was successful. Do you know anyone who would be interested in contacting people in Slobodische to find out if there are any surviving extended family there? My grandmother was of German heritage but lived in Riga (called a Balt as she wasn't Latvian). She married my grandfather in 1925 and then came to the US with him. A friend wrote letters to record keeping agencies to see if we could find anyone. Two of them have written back to say they do not have records for the years we are wanting to know about. We think the children of my grandfather perished before having children of their own, but perhaps he had a brother or sister with grandchildren who are still living in Slobodishce or nearby. My father is deceased, but my Aunt Virgina Saffron Airbets would like to know her family in Russia if she has it.
