BiographyConcordia A. Gregorieff was born on 28 December 1903 in St. Petersburg, Russia. She was the daughter of Concordia Vechesloff Gregorieff (1884-1963) and General Alexander Paul Gregorieff (1871-1947). Her father served under both Tsar Alexander III and Tsar Nicholas II, fought in the Russo-Japanese War and World War I, and was a personal friend of members of the Russian royal family. During the 1917 Russian Revolution, the Gregorieff family was forced into hiding while her father joined the White Army. The family escaped to Constantinople and stayed there at least three years. In 1923, the family immigrated to the United States through Ellis Island and eventually settled in West Hartford, Connecticut. In 1928, Concordia became a U.S. citizen. Concordia's story was documented by biographer Polly Zarella in the book, "Broken Beads."
For almost 40 years, Concordia worked for the State of Connecticut, first at the Department of Motor Vehicles, then as Executive Assistant to the Legislative Commissioners, and then as the personal assistant to Wilbur Cross. She was a member of Trinity Episcopal Church in Hartford.
She died on 27 June 2007 at the Seabury Life Community in Bloomfield, Connecticut.
