Alexandra Antonovna Dragosch

According to family stories Alexandra was Jewish. She had converted to Christian Orthodox. In the Moldova Archives her name is written as Aleksandra Sternfiurst, daughter of Anton. Based on the photographs, she was born in 1840s.

In Kiev churchbooks from 1840s and 1850s has been found following information:

Anton Moiseevich Sternfirst was born in the Italian city of Fioma. This must be Rijeka in Croatia. It was also known as Fiume. Moise is probably the name of Anton's godfather according to Jewish traditions.

The wife of Anton Moiseevich - Anna Nikolaevna.

Anton Moiseyevich and Anna Nikolaevna were of the Jewish faith, but then became Orthodox Christians.
It's written there. Anton Moiseevich was definitely a Jew, according to the entry from the register of births.
He accepted Orthodoxy together with his wife.

Later, Anton Moiseevich was recorded in the Kyiv bourgeoisie. And his daughters Maria and Melania are already being written by Kyiv bourgeois.

Sternfirst communicated with noble people - these people were godparents to his children. Daughter Maria married a nobleman in 1852. Daughter Melania married a nobleman in 1858.

Olimpiada, daughter of Anton Sternfirst, born in 1845. Son, Makarii, died in 1843.

Aleksandra, daughter of Anton Moiseev Stern - First, was born on the 4th of April, 1843, and baptized on the 29th of June, 1843. Godfather was Pavel Grigoroev Chitevskii (not sure about the family name).

The family name Sternfürst might originally have been a combination of someone's father's and mother's family names: Stern and Fürst (or the other way around).
