Yazgur is quite a unique family name. I have never met anyone with the same surname, aside from my family of course. When I say my family, I meant my brother, father, mother and me. Here's a message hoping that someone who'll respond might know more about the family name. Any clues to any websites that may help in research will be appreciated. I will also gladly translate any documents from Russian to English (if it will help the research for the family name).

Sorry, Zvi. I just saw your response today. Thank you for that info. I don't know any other relatives except my close family members. My family is from St-Petersburg, Russia. I still speak Russian and there are still some family members there. Where did you find these infos? I have found some infos about Yazgur's that were in Stalin's concentration camps.

Hello, my last name is Yazhgur. I've heard from my grandma that this last name was originated in Poland (that's where my Grandpa was born). We are a family of Russian Jews, immigrated to US in 1992; I would be very interested in finding and contacting people with the same last name; we may be distant relatives after all :-)

Hi Slava and other Yzgurs!
My grandmother's name was Mina Yazgur. She was born in 1894 or 1896 in or around Vitebsk in Belorussia. Around 1908 (probably, 1905-1910) her mother died and her father Lazar Yazgur with two older sons went to USA. My grandma was raised by her cousin. From about 1921-1922 she lived in Moscow and died in 1974. She just received one letter from her father and her brothers and then lost any connection with them. It would be very interesting for me to find any information about Lazar Yazgur and his two sons. Thanks a lot, any response will be appreciated...
