	Sorry about the delay - I have been on holiday. Since I last looked at Google my post above has been added!!! Are you using google.co.uk? If you are using .com (which is what is pre-loaded on a lot of computers) it is American biased. For UK info it is much better to use .co.uk

	Are you looking for Aleksandr Krilovs? (I see you have Krilovs in your researching list). If so, there are a lot of entries on Google, under "Captain Krilovs". They go back several years, and might be interesting.

I know it's a long shot, Im looking for a naval captain in the 1920's. I think he was from Latvia/Lithuania/Estonia and travelled back and forth to Sweden with the Navy, may have been dealing in fish/transporting fish.
