Where oh where did my family come from / go to?

You are right - nothing interesting, just a stamp of the store (actually a net of stores located in 2 sites in SPb and in Finland). But the hand-made mark "1919" may be important

If you think they were killed, then search here.

Thanks, but isn't that for the holocaust? In theory they were killed before he came here, so pre-1923

A picture my mom had

I believe, this is a picture of Alexander Wayner..?
Unfortunately, there is no names on it.
Someone wrote 1919, that means he was 14 years old by that time?
[/q]

Yes, that is correct. It is a picture of him, and if the date is correct he was 14. Does it say anything important on the back or is it just from a store that takes pictures? i manages to catch a "Petrograd" in there

Do you know anything about Alexander's brothers and sisters? Names, dates?
[/q]

Unfortunately no. We only knew he came alone, and in theory all his family was killed.

I did find something I hope will be very useful. A picture my mom had, that has a lot of writing on the back that I'm sure you fine folks can help me translate

I understood, that Alexander was born on 1905.

I was searching for Wulf.
[/q]

Ah ok I see. Problem is I don't know more details for Wolf, only what it says in my grandfather's papers that his mother (wolf's wife) is supposedly "Sofia Iskaldska"...

In any case the info would be to track down my grandfather's place of birth (Alexandre) to try to obtain his birth certificate and other relevant documents.
