Searching for Mihail Nicolaeș born in Roman (Județul Neamț)

[Mikhail Nikolaesh]

Hello everyone!

I am researching my family history and looking for any information or records regarding my great-grandfather. Because I believe our ancestors are alive as long as we remember them. But unfortunately, old people die and information is lost.

Since my grandfather surname was transliterated into Soviet Cyrillic as Nikolaesh, there are several highly probable original Romanian spelling variations for his name in the late 19th-century records of Moldavia:

• Nicolaeș
• Neculaeș / Niculaeș
• Nicolae / Neculae / Niculae
• Nicolai / Niculai / Neculai
• Nicolaescu

Here are his verified life facts:
- Name: Mihail (with any of the surname variations above).
- Date of Birth: Estimated between 1890 and 1900.
- Place of Birth: City of Roman (or a nearby village), Județul Neamț, Romania.
- Profession/Rank: Career Officer / Gendarme in the Romanian Gendarmerie. In the late 1920s and 1930s, he  served as a Sector Chief in Chișcăreni and Sîngerei, Bălți County.
- Death & Burial: He died of pneumonia around 1934-1936 in Bessarabia. There is absolutely no record or       memory of his grave in Moldova (Chișcăreni or Sîngerei). Since he was a Royal Gendarme Officer from a well-to-do family in Roman, probably his body was repatriated and buried in his hometown of Roman

I am looking for his birth/baptismal record in Neamț County, or any mentions in military/gendarmerie archives. Any advice on which specific parish registers (registre parohiale) of Roman/Neamț to check, or any help with database search would be highly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!
