Hi There is a website on the net ( but I cannot remember it now) that translates russian to english This is what I used when I heard from the Archives in Belarus also. It wasn't a perfect translation, but it helped alot I wired money to the Archives through a bank in NYC ( Deutsch Bank) that they have an account with and Deutsch wired money into this bank in Belarus that the Archives has an account with. Hope this helps a bit Rose Zydel ----- Original Message ----- From: "T Hoitt" <twinklehoitt@yahoo.com> To: "poland" <polandbordersurnames@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2007 5:52 PM Subject: [PBS] reply from Belarus > Hi, > > Oh gosh, I am excited and don't know what to do.
