Hi Joy,
Your post is a couple years old but I am hoping your still around here or somewhere! I am also researching IVANOFF.
My husbands great grandmother married an IVANOFF and we are trying to track down this information. Here's the line, and you'll see why I think there might be a link IF your family were ever in France or England.
Grandmother: Henriette Ivanoff b. 1923 m. Andre Mitton
GGrandmother: Jeanne Ava / or Ava Jeanne (????) ~ Ivanoff~ is her married name.
This ~~Mr. Dr. Ivanoff~ that she married is NOT Henriette's father.
This ~~Mr. Dr. IIvanoff~ we are told, was a doctor or surgeon.
and that he was from Russia.Don't know anymore than that.
Jeanne Ava (or Ava Jeanne) ??? Ivanoff was born and raised in France and married several times. After Mr. Dr. Ivanoff Passed Away she owned a grocery or market of some sort in France. ~~~~Mr. Dr. Ivanoff was her last marriage before his death. Not sure of year.
Mrs. Jeanne Ava ( )Ivanoff had another son~not sure on him but We also think he carried the Ivanoff name. Does this make any since?? Contact me if you can make any connections here. Thanks Tracy Mcneight
