Cantor’s paternal grandparents were from Copenhagen, and fled to Russia from the disruption of the Napoleonic Wars. In his letters, Cantor referred to them as "Israelites". However, there is no direct evidence on whether his grandparents practiced Judaism ; there is very little direct information on them of any kind.[55] Jakob Cantor, Cantor’s grandfather, gave his children Christian saints’ names. Further, several of his grandmother’s relatives were in the Czarist civil service, which would not welcome Jews, unless they, or their ancestors, converted to Orthodox Christianity. Cantor’s father, Georg Woldemar Cantor, was educated in the Lutheran mission in Saint Petersburg, and his correspondence with his son shows both of them as devout Lutherans. His mother, Maria Anna Böhm, was an Austrian born in Saint Petersburg and baptized Roman Catholic ; she converted to Protestantism upon marriage. However, there is a letter from Cantor’s brother Louis to their mother, saying
“ "Even if we were descended from Jews ten times over, and even though I may be, in principle, completely in favour of equal rights for Hebrews, in social life I prefer Christians..."[56] ”which could imply that she was of Jewish ancestry.[57]
Thus Cantor was not himself Jewish by faith, but has nevertheless been called variously German, Jewish,[58] Russian, and Danish.
