Mikhail-
I am speechless. I forgot all about this posting.Your messsage was fowarded to me, however.
My grandfather (Zusi Prokopets) did not know if any of his siblings survived the pogroms and the war. He died in 1977 dreaming of finding family alive.I have never been able to find another Prokopets.
It sounds to me that Simeon and Zusi were brothers.My mother was Jeanne Prockman. I ,too, am named after Ephraim (my Hebrew name). I have a family picture with all of the brothers I will forward. If we are right, we are second cousins. Please send me your direct email and I will forward whatever pictures I can find. My email is
eromedc@aol.com.
Also, I live in Washington, DC. Where are you?
This is truly exciting, and I look forward to exchanging more info.
