Hi,

I'll place an order and forward it to researcher.

About my name - we had here during 1st republic the campain when it was
possible to change names to more beautiful Estonian and lot of estonians
changed their "strange" or German names. So our family with surname Lelov
took new name Leino. My grandparents changed even their first names.
And Sybille (was prophetess in ancient Greek) and Dagmar is sth =
Scandinavian=20
(dag+mar) or Slavic (Dragomira) - surely isn't estonian. (and I usually =
have to=20
say it twice for being understandable :)


Sincerely=20
Sybille-Dagmar Leino=20
