Village of Estopia

[Diane]

I am looking for the small village of Estopia. It is southeast of Kiev....about a days journey.

I have been looking for years without results, and yet I have vertified the name with many people.

Is there anyone who knows of this village?

Most spelling errors are made in the transliteration/sounds like from Cyrillic to Latin Alphabet.

LDS has not filmed metrykal records for Велика Багачка/Velyka Bahacka District. I would check with Poltava Oblast Archives for village and time frame you are researching, before making any inquiry at Historical Archives in Kiev. There is no prepayment at Ukrainian Archives.
