Jeanne, believe me, not knowing how to translate from one language to another should not be embarrasing.. I have a hard time with English, but read, write and speak West Virginian very well. <SMile> Researching Surnames: Kozubchuk, Kozubchik, Kozupchik, Kozubchyk, Kocuipchyk, Zuchick, Barna and Spears Kozupchik: Rechitsa, Khotin Dstrct, Khotinskoi volosti, Volhynia, Ukraine Zuchick (Kozupchik): USA Barna: Certizne, Slovak Republic + O Lord and Master of my life, Grant not unto me a spirit of idleness, of discouragement, of lust for power, and of vain speaking. But bestow upon me, Thy servant, the spirit of chastity, of meekness, of patience, and of love. Yea, O Lord and King, grant that I may perceive my own transgressions, and judge not my brother, for blessed art Thou unto ages of ages. Amen. ---------- > From: Jeanne Gold <goldj@IX.NETCOM.COM> > To: GEN-SLAVIC@MAIL.EWORLD.COM > Subject: Re: Translation/Location Required, hell I just need help > Date: Thursday, March 13, 1997 10:13 AM > > May I ask why you published this?
