Hm, I thought that his name was in fact Nikolaj and that he
worked at Kazan University. I happen to know the "b." and "d." dates of his son
Oskar Nikolaevich Anderson (1887-1960), a well-known mathematician. The family
was Estonian-German, I believe.

In the Cyrillic part of the Web I succeed to find only one
page where this
author is mentioned:
http://www.newchron.narod.ru/Hau-ben/gramatik.html
The
only relevant sentence is (translated from Russian):
========
The first
scientist, who suggested a hypothesis about relationship of
Finno-Ugric and
Indo-German languages, was professor of the Derpt university
G.Anderson,
devoted to this problem a special investigation called
"Sravnitelnoe
izuchenie ugrofinskih i indoregmanskih yazykov" (Derpt,
1879).
