Hello everyone☺
I am trying to find my elusive Russian ancestors. I don't have a lot of information, sadly. My Dad always said we have Russian ancestry on his father's side. But he didn't know exactly who, or when they came to Canada or America. This is all I know:
My grandfather's name was Kenneth Ivan Pyott, (b. 13 March 1930, d. 25 Dec 2009) and he had an older cousin named Ivan Jackson (b. 18 March 1901, d. 20 Dec 1983)
I know that an ethnic first name doesn't guarantee that ethnicity, but I realize back in those days, parents chose names from their own families and backgrounds.
Most of my ancestors came from England to Canada, and eventually moved to the U.S
Our Pyotts came from England, in the mid 1840s. I've searched my family tree for any more Russian names, and I haven't found any. So frustrating! Since my Dad passed, it's more important than ever for me to find this connection.
If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you so much.
