It would be very helpful to many interested in Brest-Litovsk if you would be
so kind as to reveal how you happened to come across a book on
Brest-Litovsk, which my great grandfather left in 1886.

Also, what is the name of the book and in what language is it? When was it
published? Does it have photos?

Finally, it is customary to list with your surnames researching the places
and guberniyas of origin to be of use to fellow researchers who might
provide input to your own search.
