Very few people in Belarus have Internet access. Statistics says that only 1 of 1.000 Belorussians have a computer connected to Internet. All the others can't visit all these forums and web sites, read and post messages, receive and send emails. But they want to find there relatives too! So here are messages that were collected directly in the towns and villages of the Brest region. All the messages are sorted alphabetically by family name.

Looking for my great uncle Aleksei Lagoiko. He went from the village of Stolpishchi, Bobruisk region, in 1912 or 1914 to New York. There he bought a company that produced spoons and forks. He was married twice and had a daughter and a son. Last met in April 1964 in Minsk at the hotel. After that the KGB has not let him to visit our country. Looking for any information about my great uncle.
