My gfather was born in Zhitomir now in Ukraine-abt six weeks ago I received a letter from Embassy of USA in Zhitomir stating that they did not find his birth certificate. I am shocked for I got docs stating that he was born in Ukraine It stated that both his wife and he were Russians and therefore is there a state inside Russia that is called Zhitomir?If so,can I have a look upHis name was Max Weintraub born Apr 29,1863 to 1871-parents-Mollie and PhilipWeintraub.
If it is not in Russia where would I write?
