Linevich family

Hi

Some russian sites write that Nikolay Petrovich Linevich was born on Ukraine, may be in Chernigov or around. His father was official and then work as editor in Chernigov's newspaper.

His foto http://www.pgpb.ru/cd/primor/first/foto/1l.jpg

So there are some informations about his descendants in modern Russia. Do you intersting in?

I''m certainly interested. Information I have collected says, that my part of this family comes directly from Nikolay P.. What is particurarly important for me is, what may seem strange, religion. In Poland - in fact I'm polish and have polish citizenship - most of us are roman-catholics. I'm personaly orthodox convert and want to know, how it used to be in the past.

I have also haerd, that the native country was Ukraine (in Poland it is colled Lithuania becouse of the old state construction) - the place was probably "Biały Brzeg" - do you have any idea where can I find information about this?

Is it a good idea to ask a professional russian genealogist for help? Is it profitable? Expensive?

Sorry for not beeing logged in - both above massages are mine.

After the conclusion of world Linevich has remained in Manchuria, managing the evacuation of armies complicated with strikes and revolts. Unwillingness Linevich to resort to especial to drastic measures against strikers has led to to that investigation on accusation Linevich of inactivity of the authority has been appointed, soon stopped.
