    We( the Hormats family from Troy) knew about Anna Kastrolov Gordon (1854-1913) and her sisters Fanny Hormats (1864-1933) and Rachel Nathan from an April 1913 Troy obituary for both Anna and Morris Gordon who died on the sane day. We knew that their parents were named Abraham and Sarah but did not know that her mother was Sarah Levinsky… do you have documents on this? As for the real name of Kastrolov, this is documented in the obit and various birth and death certificates in Troy, NY.
