I'm very interested in the adventurer Boris Skossyreff Mawrusow, a white russian who became king of Andorra only for 9 days in 1934. He was very famous in Andorra and is currently studied by Alexander Kaffka, a russian professor.

Born in Vilnius, actually Lithuania, his name in Cyrillic as Борис Скосырев, for which the modern English transliteration would be Skosyrev. "Boris I" of Andorra was a member of a noble russian family and worked for the Orange-Nassau royal family of the Netherlands some time. For this he was aparently awarded by Queen Whilelmina with a title of nobility: baron of Orange.

Actually I'm just looking for his ancestors (Skossyreff family) and descendence. Any information would be useful. Thank you.
