I have a ton of people with both surnames in my tree, unfortunately, I can't be of much help. The only information I can provide is from a tree posted by Bill Zehm here on Ancestry.com. Neither of us have any more ancestors for Anna, but Bill shows that the father of the Henry you are referring to was also named Henry. He was born about 1850, probably in Yagodnaya Polyana and he died in Endicott, Washington. He had a wife named Katherine who died at the age of 103 when she was hit by a sled in a snow storm. She also died in Endicott. Henry and Katherine had 12 children. The Henry you refer to died in 1915 in Endicott. I'm trying to guess how you fit into the information he has. Is your mother's name Peterson or South? Even though I have both Anna and Henry in my tree, I can't figure out how I'm related to them, since I can't tie their ancestors to mine, but I know if they came from Yagodnaya Po! lyana, we're related. If you can't find the tree Bill posted let me know and I'll email you a ged file. Brad
