I didn't really know where to post this thread, while it is a quest its also IRL.
Let's start, well... from the beginning
4 months ago i hired the services of a PI in the California region, never had i used such services so naturally i didn't know what to expect , so far $5000 +/- down the drain with no actual work (took the PI to court and the court ruled on my favor due to receiving no service i was reimbursed)
The job was straight forward and pretty easy in my defense, he was hired to locate a grave site belonging to a businessman and his wife that died no later than 1970 in San Francisco.
The alleged businessman arrived between 1914-1917 to the U.S. throught San Francisco via a passenger vessel that took about 1-1.5 years to arrive from its origin in Russia (not CCCP , it was still under the Romannov's monarchy until 1917) and had multiple stops in several countries such as Italy,France and Spain.
Tried looking from findagrave.com and so other ones, most of them are BS (family member attempted using the services to locate him and ended up wasting money on nothing).
Back at that time san francisco was one city. so the graveyards should be easier to pin point (max 5 from what i can tell).
At the time the businessman was a teenager-end of teens arriving as an apprentice with his mentor and manager.
During his life he owned a large shopping center in SF.
