Re: Question about Russian-German connection.
Henry (or Heinrich, for that matter) can be spelled as Genrih in Russian. Maybe Genrih resembled Gregory?

Thanks for your response! I wonder if that's what caused the confusion, because it's clearly spelled Grigorii, and even Gregoire on the French side. I don't think my opa spoke Russian very well, so it's possible there were some misunderstandings. Thanks again.
