My uncle has two adult kids one is a boy and the other is I think girl. My mom her brother and grandmother born in Krasonyarsk. Is there anyone could help me out to find my only one uncle?

Natalia, you must realise that this is predominantly a travel site which attracts mostly younger people, as such is very unlikely to yield the result you are seeking. While I appreciate your desire to put your query out as visibly as possible, spamming the forum with multiple posts only serves to annoy people and also contravenes the rules here.

I have moved one of your posts (the one where you actually give a bit of detail) to the Talk Lounge as WTR does not have a forum for your subject, and have removed the rest.

I would suggest you post on sites that cater more specifically to your needs than WTR does. One such site popular in Russia is жду тебя.

Good luck

Nikir thank you for your reply. I am very thankful. However, is there any possibility to find out which city you live in?

I live in Australia, not in a city although I commute to one for work.

I see you have added a Russian language version of your quest. it is obvious you have used a translation site for your post, but I'm curious as to how you managed to mix the two alphabets, I've not seen that till now.

Hi Nikkir!

I did not use translation web. I translate on my own. I do not have russian alphabet on my keyboard, I do have eng alph keyboard. In meanwhile, when I was writing my message, I just copy and pate few letters that my comp do not have it. That is all. However, I heard that there is a free software with alphabet that you can download on your comp. This software will tell you where each letter is placed on english keyboard. Now I will shift a little bit from the topic.
So how come you live in Australia and you using siberian website? I thought only Siberian people can communicate. And how come you can give advices to people on traveling in siberia if do not live in siberia? I do understand that u r fluent in Australian, English language. How about russian? I see that u posted few comments in russian language. Where did u learn russian language? Did u born in Australia or Russia?

It's not a Siberian site at all. It is all about travel to Russia and exchangi experiences, tips etc. I have been quite a few times and like to share my adventures with like minded people.

Yep I was born in Australia of Russian parents so English is my first language and Russian a poor second which I learned to speak read and write as a child and although I can get by it has pretty well stayed at a childhood level through lack of use.
