Wasn’t Cosmo Barrese a stepfather? You had previously written that.
Ok, it’s a confusing story, but i think I found the truth.
Before married to Sasha’s grandmother Irene, Felix was married to another Irene, also Russian from China – Irene Boris Syro/Solomina, from 1959 to 1969. In 1970 he marride to Irene Hodgson, nee Slobodchikoff, (altrough they likely already had daughter- Sasha’s mother). Thats why i made a mistake in Sasha’s grandmother.

But now about Felix himself, its more confusing. In many records Cosmo says as father of Felix and Felix had last name Barrese in every record exept 1. In his immigration record where he is “Felix Slobodchikoff”. I I thought he took surname of his wife, but he was only 11 yo in this record.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:C4V3-3HT2
Then I found that he’s father listed as “Leo Slobodchikoff” and “Leon Alexander Solbeau”, which is the same person – Lev Aleksandrovich Slobodchikoff. Lev is the oldest brother of Vladimir, Irene’s father, which make Felix and Irene cousins!

So yes, Cosmo is still stepfather.
Vladimir is the boy in the middle and Lev is third boy https://www.dordopolo.ru/img/spisok/semia–clobodchikov.jpg
So Sasha’s mother is Russian and some Polish (around 1/8).
Gosh, but there Katherin’s (Sasha’ mother) birth record and her mother’s maiden name is Syro…so i was right that Irene Boris Syro/Solomina her grandmother? I’m done lol

If Felix Barrese and Irene Boris Syro were married from 1959 to 1969, aren’t they much more likely to be Barrese’s biological grandparents than Felix and a woman he married in 1970? Unless that was an extramarital affair.
Yes, I thought they were officially divorced in 1969, but they haven’t lived together for a long time or it’s extramarital affair.
Katherin year of birth is also defferent in resorces: usually 1964 and then 1961, altrouth it correct, so it also confused me.
So yes, Felix’s biological father was Lev Slobodchikoff and Irene Syro is Sasha’s biological grandmother.
