About 10 years ago I was emailing back and forth with a steel player in Russia. After a couple of months of this he told me he had to leave for military training and I never heard from him again. I wish I could remember his name. I would like to be back in touch with him.

There used to be an old British joke, "What's Russian for a pint?" and the answer was "10:00 p.m."(At that time they stopped serving in English pubs at 10:30 p.m.) 
Sorry for the diversion. There MUST be some steel guitarists in Russia, but unless you can speak Russian you probably won't be able to find them. Have you ever tried looking up words in a Russian dictionary, not knowing the alphabetical order of the Cyrillic alphabet? Imagine if you were Russian but spoke no English and wanted to find balalaika players in the USA... |

My ancestors came from Russia around 1880. The family name was originally Posamonikov, and was accidentally changed by some clerk at Ellis Island to Perlowitz when my grandfather got off the boat,. Later the tz was changed to an n to make it more American sounding.
And of course the name Michael is an American version of the Russian name Mikhail. (Or vice versa.)
Does this count?

Mike: why don't you correct the spelling and revert to the original, which will put your family tree right again ? It's a shame to see immigrants losing their culture by the Anglicization process.
Those guys at Ellis Island have created enormous problems for future genealogists. It's ten times as hard to work out the genealogy of an American than for old world people. I've gone back to the 1400s with several of my lines, but tracing my wife's genealogy (she was born in Nebraska) has failed to go back more than four or five generations.  |

Mikhail Posamonakov
Hey Mike, change your name back again..Posamonakov has a real musical ring to it.
with a name like that you'd sell a million Cd's..they would have to take you serious..but maybe you would have to switch back to violin. |
