Looking for family history- Omelianowitsch Pawlenko

[Petra]

I'm an undergraduate student in the States, looking for information on my family history.
While my grandfather, Mykola Pawlenko, was born in Czechoslovakia in 1923, I know that his father, Ivan Omelianowitsch Pawlenko, and his wife Fatima, left the Ukraine sometime before. I also know that he was a general in the cavalry and a graduate of the Imperial Cavalry School in St. Petersburg, Russia. Beyond that things are a bit fuzzy. I would greatly appreciate any information that anyone has.

Hello Petra,

Unfortunately there is not very much specific data re Russian Expats online.

I am aware of one org that has successfully been able to obtain records from St. Petersburg and Moscow Archives.

Contacting the Moscow & St. Petersburg Archives ON YOUR OWN can prove to be very expensive. I do not suggest it!!!

Hi Petra,

I'm your Aunt Natalie. I'd like to get in touch with you. My info is online - natalielamping.com
Your grandfather was born in 1922, not 1923. He met your grandmother in Germany, where they got married and I was born. Hope to hear from you soon.
Natalie

Natalie,

The ownership of this site has changed hands since Petra posted in 2003. I do not know if he will even get the message that you have responded to his post. Sorry.
