The information was provided by her widower, Miles Hollister. This is the name that was being referred to. All of the spellings are phonetic, of course, since the actual name would have appeared in Cyrillic.” Sara herself recounted that her mother’s father had been named Malacon Kosadamanov, but changed his name to Nelson when he moved to Sweden.
