Hello again.

Many thanks for all the kind replies to my original message!

Personal responses are coming.

And thanks for the comments on the Russian language spelling of the
family surname. I do have the exact Russian language spelling with
Cyrillic letters. However, the JewishGen email system does not allow
using any non-English letters, so I used an English approximation (a
poor one). I should have explained that in my original note.

Shana Tovah to all!

Regards,

Harvey Chimoff
