In looking at the Sitch message board I came across a message dated April 13-2000. I believe you were e-mailing Mark in Ohio. I am a Sitch and live in Ontario Canada. My married name is now Stewart. I have some information in my family tree book about a Gust Sitch in Russia. I will pass it along
Gust Sitch was born in Russia in 1882 and married i 1902 to Bessie Trihub. Gust died in May 1911 and Bessie in Dec 1935. They had 5 childred one named Stella, Peter Gust, Elsie, Fred and Philip. If you are interested I can e-mail you some more information. Some of their family live in U.S.A.
Hope this is of some value to you
Audrey Stewart (Sitch)
