I have my original copy in front of me - which is slightly better quality than on the forum - but is not much use trying to help with translation!!

The bit in the middle on page 1 that is sideways is signed by a Vice Consul  but I can't see enough of the letters to make out his name.

The first handwritten part of that looks like William MacBurnie written in Cyrillic letters.  He appeared  (probably) at the Imperial Russian General ?Embassy or Consulate in London on ?? May 1909 ..........  (two words really difficult to read) then the Vice Consul's signature.

Hi Keith,

Best known for my outstanding contributions to problem solving when I have been drinking, I see no problem here

just send me a bottle of whiskey and a copy of the passport and I will give you any translation you want, when I have finished the bottle ::)

I am also very jealous of your ancestry

Actually that's Vice Consul but in Cyrillic letters   Вице Консуль - the O.K. K.... is his name in cyrillic letters which is why I can't make it out.  Too little definition.

Nell

And I haven't had the benefit of a drink this evening - but that chinese lullaby seems to be working quite well.
