Just a note... if you have reason to believe the people listed in the bible were Russian or living in Russia, you might be looking at some of the numerous German families that settled in Russia beginning with Catharine the Great. They were allowed to keep their own religion and language for quite some time, and then slowly assimilated (or left). They are often referred to by names such as "Volga Germans" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volga_Germans). There are a number of very active, capable organizations that specialize in these people, and they are happy to help you.
