It's pathetic how little I can find out about the particular member of this family. I believe the Leo Pranikoff I am looking for is the great uncle of Howard, one of the 13 siblings of Joseph who, I believe, came from Elizabethgrad. Leo died April 28, 1905 by suicide, along with two of his children, Ettel and Maria. His wife was my grandmother. She is the one I am trying to get information on. I do not know if the children who died were hers & Leo's or Leo's from a former wife. I do not know if she & Leo married in the US or Russia.
What is your relationship to Howard's side? Do you know another "name" I can look for? Any help is appreciated. My email address is
