I just got off of the telephone with Father Michael Taratuhin of St. Michael's Russian Orthodox Church of Newark, NJ! He apologized for not getting back to me (I wrote him 4 months ago) sooner... He has given me the best news I have ever had about my grandparents specifically about my grandmother! They were married at St. Michael's on 1 May 1910 by Father Basil Rubinsky... He also told me where my grandmother was born! Molodechno Velyeska Velensk District... My spelling of where my grandmother was from is probably horrible... might anyone know the correct spelling? I have such goose bumps!!!! I have tears of joy! All best wishes SallyEllen R.
