Cramcianinov relatives

[Crants]

I am looking for my relatives in Ukraine (former Bessarabia).
My grandfather was called Simion Cramcianinov and lived in a place called Nicolaevca, near the Belgorod-Dnestrovsky region, before he went to Brazil in 1926. He was born in 1906.
I am looking for information about him or anyone related to him. I would like to know too if is possible to get his Birth Certificate or similar document.

Thank you

Thank you Hannia for the information. I will try to contact
the State Archive of Odesa Oblast in order to achieve something about my grandfather. My big problem is the language : I don't speak Ukrainian or Russian.

Contact Vitalij's wife, Iryna. She is experienced in writing Archives and Village Mayors. Rates for translation are very reasonable. vivandr@brandeis.edu . For Odessa Oblast Archives, have her use the E-Mail address. That will expedite time.
