I can give you the obituaries of the 2nd time great grandparents and their long lineage in Russia. They are probably mixed with some German as well.
Russian? Try Jewish or German.
Andrew the “Bender” lineage goes far back to Russia. I don’t think they were Jewish but I don’t know.
Bender is a German or Jewish surname.
Landry’s paternal grandparents were named Gary Nedrow Bender and Linda W.
