Title: Searching for Kharkov merchants around 1896 to 1917
Post by: Locklea on Monday 10 March 14 19:33 GMT (UK)

My grandfather, Andre Ivan Merkurieff, was born in Kharkov around 1888, my grandmother, Petronella Gerulis Merkurieff was born in Kharkov 1896. My father was born in Kharkov in 1917. They were a merchant family, until the revolution, then grandfather went into cavalry for the Tsar. My grandmother's family, Gerulis on father's side, and Deines on mother's side, were also in either business or politics (mayoral) in Kharkov district.  Can anyone help with any records or business journals that might confirm the presence of my ancestors in Kharkov 1888 to 1917?
