Hi, my mothers maiden name is Petroff,her father came to the US from somewere in russia too and for the same reason.my mom always told us the story of the three russian cowboys. They were my grandfather an two other men that had gone from russia ,threw sybria ,then eventully to the states to escape.I have a picture of the three of them leaning against a big tree and they all do look like old west cowboys,but it was taken back in russia. I never knew what part of russia he was from.I remember my mom telling me that her father was a carpenter and that his parents were farmers.my grandfathers name was Theodore Petroff.
