I am looking for any of my family with the name Melnik. My father was born in Moldova 8th November, 1925. He had a brother Vasile and cousins Petrushka and Nicholai. His father's name was Maxim and I think his mother was called Anna. He lived with his aunt and uncle but fled his home,the Russians took their farm and land. I think he was from Fazouka Resina. He came to England in 1947. He died 31st December, 2005. His aunt and female cousin were taken to Siberia. Any information would be appreciated.

With reference to my last posting. I now realise that the village is named Bor-Dubenetsky and is not listed on the map. Can anyone give me some history on it?
Thank you from Canada

I know a family from the village of Bor-Dubenets which is about 25km. from Stolin. The map shows a village (or town) named Dubenets close to Stolin. Can anyone tell me if this is the same village, and if so what happened to the word Bor? Thank you.

My grandpa's belarusian last name was Ïðåç (may be originating to Press or Preuss), he was born in Novaya Mysh near Baranovichi. Does anyone know if this name is Polish or may be German, Prussian? My mother's great grandpa's last name was Slauta and he lived in Belavichi. Does anyone know anything about the names?
