Hi, I am the great grandson of Boris Galochkin who came from around Irkstuk. He left for Australia in 1912 and his wife Anna (nee) Malakoff came 2 years later with her daughter Marie who was born deaf. They went to Australia so that Marie could receive an education. I annot speak Russian and do not know how to find information regarding Boris and his family. Is anyone able to help me in my quest.

Did GGrandfather settle in Queensland?

In 1912 most Russian immigrants used Brisbane as entry port.

Did he come thru Harbin?

What is family history?
