Hello
I am writing this post as a request from a relative, the husband of a cousin in fact.
According to the census and certificates, Constantine/Constantin James Kasper was born in 1863 or 1864 in Jersey as Constantine James Kasperowicz, but he changed his name when he came to Lambeth, London.
I would appreciate it if someone could help find a baptism for him. According to my relative, Constantine's parents were Alfred Onufrius Kasperowicz and his wife Julia.
He also said that he did an ancestry dna test and it gave a 50% Eastern European descent, meaning that it is likely the Kasperowicz were from there, possibly Russia or Czechoslovakia
my thanks

I looks like there could be a link between Omiphrius and Constantine, but its finding the link that will be difficult.
