hi jerry, you seemto know quite abit about lutherans that settled in the ukraine. i of course know nothing. but i know my mother was born and baptised in malaja kachowka as a lutheran. but what church, we have no idea. my grandparents and (mother who escaped) a gulag in siberia i beieve died there so i have no one to ask. i don't have anyone to ask or help me with my research. i do not read german or russian. also, i believe my grandfather fought in the czra white army in the japenese-russian war. don't know if thats true either. please email me directly if you anyone can help. i really need it! thanks, anna
