I am distantly related to a Barkan family that lived in Dneiperpetrovsk (aka Yekaterinaslav). This would have been in the early 20th century. Vladimir aka Volodya Barkan married Sonia Luria (my grandmother's cousin). They had three children: Leah, Rochel and Isroel Barkan. According to my grandmother the entire family died in the Holocaust. Any relevant information is appreciated, and please contact me directly at endora257@aol.com if you like as I rarely get to this board.
