I tried searching for alternate spellings but had zero results.

Germanized endings like "...off" or "..jeff" were common at the beginning of XX century. So for the time period that we are discussing you should get more hits using it. The more accurate "..ov", "..ev" or "..yev" became popular later.

According to Finnish police records (they kept a file on Sofia/Alma over the years due to her Russian ties), her second husband's name was Efim/Jefim Vladimirovitsch Sergejeff, born 25 Mar 1890 in Russia. There is conflicting information in the reports. His death is listed as December 18,1917 while there is also a note that he was a cossack officer and was captured in 1920 in St. Petersburg, sent to Arkangel and probably executed there (by bolsheviks). Further still, there is a note that she wrote to his sister, Anastasia Vladimirovna Sergeffia, in "Novotsherkassk, Staro Zagorodnaya" in 1923 saying she was waiting for him to come to Finland and mentioned his rank of 'lieutenant colonel or voiskovoj starshina in the Cossack forces"

Добрый день!
Это мой прадед Емельян Кравцов. Можете помочь установить его звание и принадлежность роду войск? Точная дата фото неизвестна (1905- 1917)
Заранее спасибо,
Ольга
