Hi Bradley,
I see you are still on your quest for info and am wondering if you have had the opportunity to follow up on previous advice to you to order the church records from LDS for Chagor ?

At a glance at the Family Search Catalogue this morning for Chagor it appears that records could include the marriage for Filip and Anna. However, for the birth of Filip, as you have listed, about 1835, it does not appear this record is included as there is a gap of missing years for births from 1833 to 1840 - however, you just never know until you look at the records.

Finding Filip and Anna's marriage record will also be helpful for you as it will contain the names of their parents, thus giving you 1 more generation of information. Please also remember to note house numbers as families moved very little you will have a much easier time in locating records by searching for house numbers. This is especially helpful is you cannot read Cyrillic, and truthfully one doesn't need to be able to read it for the purposes of finding family in the church records, you only need to be able to recognize your family names.

Using Bing's or Google's translation service as you have done has already provided you with your family name as it will appear in the church records - keeping in mind potential 'chicken scratch' entries and whether or not the entries were printed or written in Cyrillic. Nonetheless, I am sure you will find some success.

If you haven't done so yet, I am really encouraging you to order some microfilms. There is a treasure trove of information just waiting for you! I wish you best of luck.

Regards, Karen
