Has anyone ever heard of these surnames? I have had no success with either on the Internet. Brywa, we think originated from Poland and Anodina (or Anodyna) from the Ukraine. Both were women's surnames. Are there other spellings I should be trying? Presumably Anodina has been transliterated from the Cyrillic alphabet. I can read Cyrillic but understand only the odd word here or there. Jim Miles jdk@sia.net
