[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Given name Robert

[Jerry Frank]

Actually it is quite common.  Go to http://www.odessa3.org/search.html 
and in the first search box, type Robert and set it to search the St. 
Pete records.  You will find hundreds of them.  However, you'd probably 
never find it abbreviated as Bob.  :-)
