Dear Listers, thank you all so much , from all over the world, f or your help with my great great grandfather's naturalisation. I am applying to Kew for the Morris Gilberg from Russia, having checked that my great great grandfather was still living in 1899. He died a year later. The problem is that sometimes he is on record as a Gilberg or a Gelbberg or a Gelberg . (There have even been times when my eye caught by chance a Gelbart in the copper plated books that used to be heaved up from the Family Records Office. Then some censuses say he is from Austria, others from Poland and one from Russia. I suppose it depended on who won the plebiscite at the time. (Which reminds me of the woman living in Poland whose husband came back to say they were now Poland , to which she answered," thank goodness, I couldn't bear another Russian winter"). Once I find more of his background I might be able to find other siblings to compare with. With many thanks, Louise in London.

Louise - when you get the documents, please share - I have a GELBERG on the tree (I think you and I have discussed this before) and they were from Austria/Poland.
