Posted on: Yuba County, California Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/Yuba?read=341 Surname: sohrakoff ------------------------- My grandmothers name was Vera Victoria Shirokoff. She was born in Minusinsk, Siberia, Russia. She was born on 30 Sept 1919. She passed away recently and told the story of how her Mother walked with her and the other children to Germany when the red russians burned all the churches. Her husband was in the military and she never heard from him again. His name was Victor Shirkoff. Her mothers name was Luber Victoria Litkin. We don't know much of anything else and have had a hard time documenting what we do have. I am not sure about any of the spellings and when I see names that could be similar in English I have no idea how they are pronounced in Russian. If you have any ideas let me know.
