Do I have relatives in Ukraine? I keep getting asked that question. And my answer is, I don’t know. I HAD relatives once in Dneipropotrovsk. And I appeared on Russian television years ago looking for them. My mother had one surviving nephew out of at least a dozen. He was away in military school when the entire family in Lida was wiped out. My mother found him in the early fifties, and they corresponded for a while, but he wrote that her letters endangered him and they had to stop. She said they had four sons, but never received more information. I hope they survived and will continue to survive and someday we’ll find each other.

Karen small world .My paternal grandparents were from the Ukraine. My grandmother was born in Dnipro when it was called Ekaterinaslav and my grandfather was from Cherkassia and had been in the service there. Fortunately they came to the US to live with relatives,maall rry and find the American dream just before WW1. My heart aches for the people there today. “Your ittle cousin “
small world indeed! We have to meet again = soon!
