Judy&Peter,   The name Grasnncha is most probably correctly spelled as Gryasnukha or Grasnukha, as suggested by Gary Martens. The 'ch' in German corresponds to 'kh' in English. The little difference often causes some confusion, when people spell out some place names containing the Russian word 'khutor' as 'chutor'. Chutor is the German spelling of 'khutor' which typically refers to a small farm in Southern Russia.   Regards, Tanja Schell --- On Sat, 2/26/11, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: GER-VOLGA Digest, Vol 6, Issue 52 To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, February 26, 2011, 3:00 AM Today's Topics:    1.
