Hi John, Any idea which part of Russia? It might be worth exploring Lithuania as an option. The name might have that origin and the country was part of the Russian Empire at the time. http://www.polfam.org -----Original Message----- From: polandbordersurnames-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:polandbordersurnames-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of John Windle Sent: Sunday, 7 October 2007 8:19 AM To: PolandBorderSurnames-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [PBS] SURNAME Hi all, Has anyone heard of a Russian or maybe Polish surname, VAUCHGLANUS or VOUCHYLANUS. I am searching for info on this family who moved from Russia to Liverpool around 1880. In some records the name was shortened to Vouch.
