There are some special places in any contemporary cities all over the word. These places, connecting the Past and the Present, give us an opportunity to imagine how the nearest Future will be like. One of the places of this sort is the Queensland Museum in Brisbane. Here I learned about the amazing fate of Afanasy Bobileff’s family, or rather, about the fate of the whole generation of Russian people who went through the revolution, the civil war and immigration.

Afanasy & Maria Bobileff were my grandparents.My mother Mary was their Australian born child and youngest.She passed in 2018.
I would be most interested to see granddads
Coat.He passed before I was born.I spent a lot of my childhood with my grandmother.and was raised on her stories as she never learned how to read English.Her English was poor as she mixed mainly with the Russian community.
I would like to know more and would be happy to meet you at some time.
Kind regards
Jacqueline
Ps Connie is my cousin and of course I have her book.
I found it difficult to get accurate information about my Mums side of the family. -

Невероятно интересная история жизни. Как переплетались судьбы разных людей, которые даже не подозревали, что их встреча произошла не просто так, а по какому-то, им неведомому, сценарию Книги Судьбы.
