I wonder whether we might be able to help each other?

Warscheleski Futor sounds to be Chutor Wasilewsky, just to the west of Zhytomyr and its name today is Vasilivka. I have recently started researching Vasilivka through a company in Kiev, as my father might have lived there.

My father was born in 1922, left the Ukraine in 1941, arrived in England in 1947 and died in 1999. My father said he came from a village called Luphota, which I cannot find, but Vasilivka matches all the information he did give!

He was not keen to return to the Ukraine, so said very little about his life in the Ukraine to protect his family from the communists, who he disliked very much.

I am sorry I do not speak or read German.

Thank you
