MIRONOV - I am looking for any info concerning my great grandfather. His name is Fyodor Ivanovich MIRONOV(ff). He is Russian. He was taken to the army and then sent to France. For all I know it happened in 1914 to help France in World War I. He was in touch with his family in Russia until 1916 and after that there was no word of him. I have his picture and a telegram. I would appreciate if anyone cold tell me how I can find out what had happened to my great grandfather. Thank you.

Mary(nee. McBride)Cotrell died on the 19th of December 1903 in the County of Newcastle on Tyne. John's and Joseph's Surname could also have been spelt differently e.g., Coteral, Cotterrill, Cotterell, or Cottrell, it has changed so many times down the Family line, no-one knows why ? I'm just enquiring whether or not anyone recognizes any of the details of my Husband side of his Family Tree that I have provided with, if so could they please help me fill in any missing details that I might have missed. Does anyone knows what Clan the McBride might have belonged to or if they had a Family nickname, if any ? Also can anyone point me in any direction where I could research more into my Husbands family tree, Thanking you all in advance for anyone's help.
