another russian connection

Post by hg » Sun Aug 10, 2008 4:44 pm

Hi,

I to have a family story about one of my ancestors Anna Belli. Rumour has it that she was a governess to the Russian Royal family. She made her escape at the time of the Revolution and came to live in London.

I am interested in Heather's reply to Dorothy, you seem to have some knowledge of this and I wondered if there was any tips you could give me on how to research whether Anna was in Russia.

I have had a quick look at the link, do you think this would be my best way forward?

many thanks

Helen

Hi Helen,

I have -0- experience with any Russian research, but I did copy these links from an old magazine that may help you expand your research? :roll:
