Shannon,
        I don't know how to thank you enough for providing me
with Boris Traycoff's information. From his last name a friend of
mine searched the U.S. phone listings on the Internet and came up
with 19 more possible relatives. They are spread out in Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois. Three of those were suppressed though
because of private phone numbers.
        I have not made any contact yet, mostly because I'm
scared as H**L!!! It would be a lot easier if Boris knew that I
existed. My uncle has offered to help me out with making contact
with some reluctance. He doesn't want to see me or my birth
father hurt by this.
        What do you think of these two suggestions? Talk only to
my birth father and let him decide if he wants me to meet the
rest of the family. Try to find out what church he may go to and
talk to his minister or priest to see if they would know how he
would react to it first, especially if he is in ill-health.
        Of course, my ideal would be to meet the whole family but
if he would not want that, I wouldn't do it. That could come
later maybe. Just think, I may have 20 family members out there
who may be as happy to meet me as I would be to meet them.
        Again, THANK YOU SHANNON!!!!
