Jack Bogdonov — 25 Dec 1999 1:52:14 GMT

My Grandfather arrived from Russia via Liverpool, England in 1902. At that time the family name was spelled Bogdanoff. He had a twin brother who travelled to Argentina via Liverpool with a brother-in-law maned Loshkin.
I would be interested in locating any family in Argentina or elsewhere.

I'm looking for someone who know's something about Maurice Robert Bogdanoff inorder to track my family. In my quest to find my father's family, I discoved that my great aunt Mollie Green was married to Maurice R Bogdanoff in 1922. The marriage record from a synagoge in Canada lists his parents as Harry Bogdanoff and Anna Kolin Koritz.

Bogdanoff's on east coast

stub1 — 18 Jul 2002 12:57:42 GMT

I see that most inquiries re: Bogdanoff's are from emigration to the west coast or other countries. There are Bogdanoff's on the east coast -- we are in NYS and I have met some from PA. My relatives came from the Ukraine - probably about 1880 and settled in Bronx, NY. Morris Bogdanoff was a builder in NYC and Westchester County, NY from 1920-1960, as was his son David Bogdanoff (my step Dad) - who won many awards for low income housing delvelopments. The family claims that the name Bogdanoff came from a Ukrainian freedom fighter Peter Bogdan -- and that many jewish Ukranians took this name when forced to adopt last names by the Russian Government.

Bogdanoffs in Russia

MacRae Bogdanov — 16 Feb 2002 1:05:31 GMT

Does anyone have any information on the Bogdanoff family when they lived in Russia. My grandfather Mathew and grandmother, Ana came over here from Russia. My dad Peter Bogdanov was born during their long travel from Russia to America. My uncles Walter and Alex were born in Russia. There other brothers and sisters born in SF... We all grew up in SF. There's actually 4 main Russian families that live on Potrero Hill in San Fran.

Bogdanov, Dachev, Riepert

Sara B — 1 Apr 2004 5:59:36 GMT

And where is my BOGDANOFF/ BOGDANOV/BOGDANOW and DACHEFF/DATCHEFF/ DACHEV(A) / and RIEPERT family????
I am Sara Bogdanov, daughter of Georgi Georgiev Bogdanov (Bulgaria 1930-2000) and Renate Riepert (Germany 1940). I have a brother Georg Bogdanov.

On my Fathter’s site:
Georgi Gerogiev Bogdanov was the second son after Ivan Georgiev Bogdanov of Zaphira Dacheva (Bulgaria 1900-1982) and Gerogi Bogdanov (Bulgaria ?????)

Zaphira Dacheva’s sibilings Assen Dachev (Bulgaria) and Dimitar ?????

Assen Dachev married to Sonja: their kids – Ivan & Ljubima – all their spouses, kids and grad-kids are living in Bulgaria near the city of Burgas - that is the line I have contact with

On my Mom’s site:
Renate Riepert was the first born to ?????(got to find out) and has a brother Horst Riepert (Germany)

And just to add more fun to the hole thing:
My Grandmother Zaphira Dacheva comes from a wealthy family with land and orchards and wine / grape field in Sliven (Bulgaria).
To my knowledge at the time of her youth her family owned a store –I believe it was a grocery store. They had a very helpful helper/manager “chirak”. he left Bulgaria and I believe he came to the U.S. under the Dachev name … that must have been after 1910….

Does this make sense to any one?????

Sharing our email addresses

Jillaine Smith — 3 Apr 2000 9:34:55 GMT

While it appears that providing an email address is required to post a message, that email address does not come up anywhere in the message once posted. I am interested in staying in touch with Bogdonoff (all spellings) researchers. But doing so by email is much easier than trying to remember to come back to this board. If you're interested in subscribing to an email list for researchers of the Bogdonoff (all spellings) surname, please contact me.

My email address is jillaine@benton.org.
My family tree site may be found at
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jillaine. (The Bogdonoff information there is not as updated as my offline information is.)

My husband's ancestor, Benjamin Bogdonoff, was born in 1863 somewhere near the Poland/Russia border. He and his wife, Leah [Glassman?] left Poland/Russia in about 1885, and headed for England. They had their first three children there (Harry b. 1890; Katherine b. 1892; Maurice b. 1893). In about 1894, the left England for the U.S., settling in and around Lowell, MA.
They had at least four more children, one of whom is the grandfather of my husband.
