Hello Maryna , I when <I began to be user of geni program got one e-mail from Sweden it wasyear 2008, One man Mika Johansson asked me to Joing to geni, and asked me to put up names of my close relatives as far as my father and , father-father and his onen son , who marriage of one woman in Finland wich fater was born in Bela-Russia . Maria Stetz Stiets was the name of whoman and Her husband was Feodor Röppänen Reppijev.
- So it started to me, and unfortunately I have now 2019 only 166 persons who are my close family members, and I have marked up abouth 75.000 persons to geni.
reason why so little ancients is maybe that; my roots are from karelian from Russia and nobody are interested of my ancients, and from my home country is very difficult to seek ancients from Russia , kindly greeting Pentti
and after I marked up my father-father son Feodor Heikki Röppänen and His wifeMaria Malvala, born Stetz .. connected Mika Marco Johansson my Maria to His own rooths members, so it started. and took a time some weeks only, greetings
ps. You, Maryna, should also mark up Yours ancietns as far it is possiple, may ge some body seek and hit connections to Yours root after that.
Pentti Aleksi Röppänen
thank you very much Pentti Aleksi for your explanation, all the best to you!!!🍀
