Martinoff (Мартынов)

Hi, Frank.
Dont know if it will help you: apropos Adolf Martynoff (A.M.):
1 . I called the Gymnasium where he worked, but nobody answered: probably, a vacation. I sent the letter to the director with a request for the help. Probably, in archives of a gymnasium any documents or "personal data file"are preserved. In general, while results aren't present. In any case, periodically I will call there...
2 . Don you know Alexander Flint? His great-great-grandfather also served in the Page Corps as the teacher of French. I asked, probably he (Alexander) knows where is possible to find information, etc. He answered that found "personal data file" of the great-great-grandfather in the section "Military Educational Institutions" in http://www.rusarchives.ru/ archive and advised to address there at what, to go and work there personally, instead of to ask someone because you already know why...
If it is necessary for you, I will send his letters and address on your e-mail address. However, they are in Russian, but I will translate for you...

Frank,
do you know Andrey Podobedov, 61 y.o. Moskow (Андрей Подобедов, 61 лет, Москва)?
He is a great-great-grandson ( grandgrand-grandson) of Pavel Lubimovich Martynov.
May be he knows more about his great-great-grandfather and could tell you if he ever had a "Coat of Arms"?

Somebody was so nice and gave me this information,
but sadly it doesn't give me the origin of the family....

Frank, we can contakte him (Andrey), but if you want?

that would be great if you can contact Andrey,
maybe he has more information!

Don't worry about the translation until we have a confirmation
that it's the same family!

..unless there is important information about the origin of
"Мартынов (Мартингоф) Готлиб Юрьевич" !
