A Russian passport was recently found in the home of a cousin. It was issued in Odessa in March 1913. The name as translated appears to be Cyrie Atperova DINEVICH. The name also appears in German and appears to be spelled Cyrel Di'nevitsch. None of the family recognizes the name although the dates are about right for my grandfather Nathan Litvak's departure >from Hamburg, Germany. My Russian friend indicated that DINEVICH was the father's name. Is DINEVICH a patronymic? If so what would the father's name be?
