My ggg grandfather Micheal Kautzman is said to have been the Czar of Russia's childrens bodygaurd until his immigration in 1899. He was a German captian in the Russian army and also the inturpretur for the Czar being as he spoke 5 languages, Russian, German, Turkish, French, English.
THIS MAY BE THE SAME PERSON. HE CHANGED HIS NAME WHEN HE ENTERED THE STATES
he had three sons at the time Harry, Anton, and Kasper, who was four months old. He was also a cobbler and he had to flee for his life. His wife is named Madeline Miller. They had to leave Russia in a hurry, he had just enough time to make a pair of baby shoes for Kasper.
