    We found out about 5 years ago that we're Ukrainian on my dad's side. He doesn't know a lot about my grandfather's life before he came to the U.S. or exatly where in Russia he lived. We always thought he was from "white Russia". The Ukrainian National Museum is located in Chicago, Karen - someone there might be able to translate it for you.

    Bobcat's first language is Ukranian but he hasn't spoken it since he was a child.
    But, I will ask his older Canadian cousins to see if any of them can still read it. I'll PM you later.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    I used to work with Ukrainian speakers; I'm sure there are some at my current job. I'll hunt around.

    That would be great, thanks! I know plenty of Russians, a Hungarian cashier, and many other immigrants, but no Ukrainian!

    Karen, did you try using Google Translate? My friend is a first grade teacher and loves it helps her deal with parents.

    I know a few people from Russia, but not from the Ukraine. Actually I thought they'd be speaking Russian in the Ukraine as well - after all, they were all part of the former Soviet Republic - but I guess I'm wrong and they do have their own language but according to wikipedia, it's not so different from Russian.
