Hi - I saw your request on genealogy.com.I am the great granddaughter of Anna and Peter Fedoroff who both originally came from Russia and/or Ukraine, lived in St. Petersburg Florida and ended up in New Orleans.Anna and Peter had three sons.Peter, Alexander and Daniel.Alexander Fedoroff was my grandfather.My mother is Alexander's daughter.Alexander had four children, Doyt, Grace, Alexander and Gerald.Is this the same family?My mother spells her name Fedoroff not Federoff.Are you Daniel's great great granddaughter or Peter's great great granddaughter?If you ever get any info beyond Anna and Peter I would love to know what you find.I have asked my mother, as she is still living (86 years young), about Anna and Peter.Anna was still alive during my mother's childhood.My mother says Anna never wanted to talk about her history much.However, we know a little.Anna was Jewish.Peter was not.We also believe that Anna was Ukrainian, not Russian, because we know she was able to speak a Ukrainian dialect.She also told my mother that Anna and Peter married each other after each came to the U.S.I can ask my mother what other information she knows.It would be great to know of family beyond Anna and Peter as I have little information beyond them.During Anna's lifetime, my mother would question Anna about heritage and she was vague and never wanted to talk about it, even refusing to speak Russian or teach anyone in the family Russian.I hope this information is helpful to you.Please share anything you learn about the family.
