In a letter from Frank's (Minnie husband) it says that his parents were elderly when he left home (Russia).  When he arrived in Philadelphia there was a cablegram saying that his mother had died. All who were left were caught in the Bolsov purge...went to Siberia or ??.
Myabe there were a total of 11 children....  When he came to the US he had a visa to travel for 1 yr (1917).  He joined the US army, was issued citizenship papers and never returned to Russia.
I found on the internet a reference to his naturalization, but not sure where I would find the papers.  Page 655 of what???  He did live in Gilcrest CO.
