I'm looking for the name of a brewery in Hughesovka attached, presumably to the steelworks.

My father was born in Hughesovka. Does anyone recognise the names: Kean, Tascheit, Drozin?

Hello Valerie125
My father was born in Hughesovka in 1917 I think. His father was a Scottish accountant working in, I believe, a brewery in Hughesovka. My grandfather married a lady from St Petersburg and they ultimately ended up in Britain after fleeing the Revolution. Before permanently settling in Yorkshire my grandfather and his wife spent time in France, Belgium and Germany working mostly with International Harvester Co.
I would like to be able to trace this part of my family's history because so much was lost during the Revolution and two World Wars.
