2139	Translation - Russia	6/6/2004	Marriage record from Przasnycs Poland. Key document to connect old and new world families. I believe Kayla Pukrywa in the old world is Carrie Buckner in the new world. Much will hinge on the names in this document for Kayla's and for husband Mosiek's relatives. Friend could not translate because she said it is in cyrillic Russian. Thank you very much for your help.	View the post, there are no responses
