Hello, my name is Mikhail Shilimanov, on this foto is my mother Valentina as a child in the arms of her mother Tsilya Pogostina, the daughter of Mendel Zagnoyev from the village of Zagnoi near Sebezh. Mendel Zagnoev lived there from about 1885 to 1930. I'm looking for information about my ancestors.
