Hello Kevin! I am glad to see you here too. Me and topic starter have a DNA match and I hope we could find our routes.

would it be a safe assumption that this record matches him

It's strongly possible. And his name was Melenty, not Meletche.

On this picture where it shows "Meletche".. would it be a safe assumption that this record matches him:

Geo Z, Thanks.. I didn't realize the middle name is from the father. Shows I really need to learn more to better understand this heritage.

I apologize, I'm looking through and don't see where Vera & Nina's last name would be Pavlovna... which document was that in? The letter written in Russian?
[/q]

Paul (Pavel) wrote, that he's got two daughters: Vera and Nina. In Russian the second name is patronymic. In this case it would be Pavlovna for woman and Pavlovich for man.

I guess it's better to find a translator.)))

Pavel Alekseevich Vinichuk. - his father had name Aleksei.
Vera Pavlovna Vinichuk. - her father had name Pavel (Pavlo).

That's incorrect. Paul's daughters should be Vera Pavlovna and Nina Pavlovna.

A member here ( mgnthng ) has translated it for me about a year ago:

[q]
5th January, 1950
The letter from your brother Pavel Alekseevich. I congratulate you my dear sister Teklya and your daughters with a New Year. I inform you my dear sister that I received two letters from you, one on Easter, 1949, another one in January 3, 1950 for which I thank you that you don't forget about me. On your first letter I sent you two letters and now I'm replying to a letter I received on 3rd January, 1950. I inform you I'm safe and sound, my family: wife Marina, daughter Vera born in 1926, daughter Nina born in 1946, we send you all warm regards ??? address Kurganovka ( ).
Goodbye, we're waiting for a reply.
With compliments, Pavlo (Pavlo in Ukrainian, Pavel in Russian) Vinichuk.

I've edited Vera and Nina's name! Thank you!

I actually tried reaching out to the archives, but never heard back from them. I'll give it another shot and see what I can find. Do you know if they happened to have any English speaking workers or will I need to find a translator? I don't mind to pay for the research involved with it!
