Just a few words about the above:
I recently wrote to Alexander Gur'yanov asking for information in their
database "Polish citizens deported to Arkhangelsk region (1940-1941).
Aklexander wrote back within 2 days with exactly the information we
wanted. He was very helpful, written in good English, attached a letter
in Polish which he did offer to translate if neccessary, and gave
instructions on where to write to get copy of the documents we wanted.
It felt very strange seeing my mother's family names etc on a Russian
document and my mother was very moved by the reply. (She is trying to
get a copy of her sister's death certificate, she died at the age of 14
on Christmas Eve 1940 in Kotlas.)
"Alexander Gur'yanov" <gurpolcom@...>
Many thanks to Alexander, your assistance is much appreciated.
