    My father's mother was named Maria Alexandrovna Durasov born 1895 in Samara Russia. She was the dauther of Alexander Theodor Durasov and the grand daughter of Theodor Durasov.
     Her father and grandfather were 1st captains in the Imperial Guards Navy.
     Does anyone have any information on the Durasov family?
    


There is a anouncement on one russian board in Internet: someone seeking relatives of Alexander F Durasov from S.Petersburg? Do you interesting in it or may be this anouncement is yours?

Hello there.

I am a newbie who is very happy to have stumbled across this board just by googling my last name.  

I was very surprised  :D  to see in the postings an announcement on a Russian board that I had posted on 3 years ago asking for any information on my grandfather's family.  

I apologize to   :-[  Mikcat that I am very late in seeing the post but if you are still out there please contact me.  Unfortunately, the email address at taiga@canada.com is old and has not been used in 2 years so if anyone has posted to it I am trying to see if I can still access any of the information.

I am still looking for information on Alexander F Durasov who lived in St. Petersburg near the University on Vasilevsky Island with his family until he immigrated to Canada in 1905 to begin a new life Vasilevsky Island.

I am so happy I have found this site and now I have lots of enjoyable reading to do.
