he was a peasant. I tried searching for "peasant Mikhail Morozov" in Russian but it didn't return anything. I will try with the sentence you gave me

edit : There are some confessions for "дом Морозова" but none of them contain the name of Grigory

It is next to impossible to find a house that belonged to a regular person, not a renowned merchant or a noble family, unless you go for a very serious research in the Moscow archives offline. If only for a luck streak. It was quite common those days that houses had names of the owner instead of addresses.
As for the confession lists, since Grigory dwelled there temporarily, he's hardly gonna be in any of them. Plus, usually people confessed at the churches of their parish, not where they actually lived.

thanks a lot for this help !

Hello, I was rereading the family letters and finally I had a doubt about the translation of one of the letters.
Can someone translate this letter so I can verify the accuracy of the information?

I thank you. I did well to request a new translation. I'm having a little trouble understanding who exactly is doing what in this letter. We have "Gene" who undoubtedly referred to Genia, wife of Nuta/Natan Kostelansky. Tsipka (Gurin) the daughter of B(rocha) Gurin. “Grandma” must be Rachel. Clara (Gurin) sister of Tsipka. However, this is where it gets fuzzy because Moise is supposed to be Clara and Tsipka's brother, unless the person giving birth (who must be Genia?) has decided to name their son Moise. Pesi must refer to Pesha Kostelansky sister of Natan? I don't see anyone else whose first name is similar. Her husband's name I don't know.

I think that in fact she is addressing her son Moses (these letters come from Moses for the most part) so the sentence "she will give birth to my dear Moses with me" is perhaps written as follows: "she will give birth, my dear Moses, with me"?

If you don't mind I would like to request a translation of a few more letters. At least the last 2 are the sequel. This would undoubtedly help me to better understand the events.

I think this sentence confirms that it is Brocha Gurin who is speaking to his son Moise. Here she says "It’s not yet heard that we can see each other soon, it seems to me that it’s still a long way off". At that time, Moise was studying in Saint Petersburg, far from Warsaw. He returned to Warsaw afterwards around 1912. So there is this idea of ​​I don't know when we will see each other again but it's still a long way off. So it must be 1910 in Warsaw.

Now it’s clear, that in this letter she meant: “she will give birth at my place (with author of the letter by her side), my dear Moses, how glad I am...” Thus, it was an appeal to Moses, and not the name of the unborn child.

That's what I thought. Too bad the child's name is not written.
