Bogdanoff's on east coast
I see that most inquiries re: Bogdanoff's are from emigration to the west coast or other countries. There are Bogdanoff's on the east coast -- we are in NYS and I have met some from PA. My relatives came from the Ukraine - probably about 1880 and settled in Bronx, NY. Morris Bogdanoff was a builder in NYC and Westchester County, NY from 1920-1960, as was his son David Bogdanoff (my step Dad) - who won many awards for low income housing delvelopments. The family claims that the name Bogdanoff came from a Ukrainian freedom fighter Peter Bogdan -- and that many jewish Ukranians took this name when forced to adopt last names by the Russian Government.
