My parents-in-laws came to US to live with us in May 97. Unfortunately,
they left grandmother of 92 years old in Moscow and due to illness of
person who was taking care of her they had to go back to care for grandma
in June 97. They had temporary stamps in their passports indicating their
status of permanent residents. We also hoped for green cards to come in
mail soon ( Green cards never came and we are trying to find from INS where
they are ). In April of this year - a month before stamps will expire -
parents went to the American embassy in Moscow to ask how they can get back
to US. They were told not to worry and when they want to go to US they will
get the transportation letter from the Embassy. In August they went to the
Embassy to get transportation letter but were sent away without it. They
were also told never come to Embassy again. It's all very dramatic for us
and we do whatever possible to resolve this situation. If anybody had
similar experience or know similar cases please send any helpful
information to grigory93@netscape.net
Thank you,

Subject: looking for name Gnatiuk or Danilchuk
Dear Friends,
My name is Eddie. Currently I reside in New York City. I am interested to
obtain some information related to my wife's ancestors. Her Grandmother
was graduated from The Smolny Institute between 1910 and 1917, the last
name most likely had some similarity with Gnatiuk or Danilchuk. I will
appreciate any help or helpful information. For me personally the starting
point of the research would be the list of the students graduated within
above mentioned time frame. Down below I have a few family pictures, if
those can give some help. Truly yours Eddie.
