My father, born 1923 came from the Luboml area of Ukraine. His mother came from just north in a small village He was illegitimate. I know that his father was a Russian mill owner in the area. Previously he had been a Cavalry Officer in the Tzar's army, prior to the execution of the Tzar in 1918. We believe he was executed by the Russians at the beginning of WW2 because of his status. My father was sent to the gulag camps, but that is another sad story. I do not know the name of my grandfather and my father never would tell us as he lived in fear that this knowledge would backfire on him. He was frightened of the KGB. It is this man, my grandfather that I am trying to trace so that I can finally understand my ancestry. Does anyone have any old books, literature, directories or anything else that might help pinpoint the Russian mill owner in the early 1920's.
