o'connor/de connor/RUSSIA/1750
good morning
i hope i am on the good site
my ancestors o'connor (AR DI)as named by my grandfather emigrated to which date?i don't know to RUSSIA and became officers or surgeons in the tsar army.as far as we know our name was changed end of 18th century by the tsar in DE CONNOR and thus anoblished.
their nationality was of course russian but they lived a long time under a british passport;we do not know the clan we come from,when these people left ireland and why and if branches of this family still remains;we are the only ones with this name in france when my grand father and father emigrated after the russian revolution in 1917.
so we are completely lost and if somebody can help us to find back some roots i would be grateful
best regards
serge de connor
