Hidden History Research

“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”

Kronstadt Naval Cathedral built 1903 (?!)

Yesterday I decided to explore the Russian part of my DNA through my ancestor, The Admiral.

What a bloody stupid idea that was!

Apparently him and his son were both appointed governor of Kronstadt. BTW – they followed in the footsteps of another Scot – Thomas Gordon. Yup. From Clan Gordon of the crescent moons.

I’m in a right pickle now. Do I have a traitor on my family tree?

Was the Admiral’s life hijacked by the Romanov?

Tune in next time for a tour around the Baltic.
