Lesov(pron)[le'sof]

From what I gather there are at least two types of Lesov. One is a popular Bulgarian last name. Another is based in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. Les means forest in many slavak languages and thus the last name can be even more common. My great great grandfather, Lev Lesov was living in Gomel. His son, Issak moved his family from Gomel(Homel'), Belarus as far as I can trace my family to mid to late 1800. He moved his family to Saratov in Russia in early 1900.
We know nothing about possible siblings he may have had but we think he had some, and we think some even came to America in late 1800 early 1900.
So, there is definitely a high probability there are some of my distant relatives that we know nothing about.
