Hello,
=3D20
 You should start from the UK archives. If he lived in London for some =3D
time, there=3D20
 must be records about him there. At least about his birth date should be =
=3D
listed=3D20
 somewhere, maybe his place of birth or other information. Estonia did not =
=3D
have=3D20
 a merchant navy, however, it is possible to check the seamens' records =3D
whether=3D20
 someone with that name is listed there. Still at this point we suggest =3D
you to start=3D20
 from London records. You should keep in mind that his last name could be =
=3D
written=3D20
 Vihman, Vihmann, Vichman, Vichmann etc. The letter W was omited from =3D

 Estonian in the beginning of the 20th century.

 S=3DC3=3DB5numHello,
=3D20
 Thank you very much for your reply.My quest is for my father who like my =
=3D
mother was Estonian. I'm afraid I have very little information about him =
=3D
other than his name: Hans Wichman. He met my mother in London during the =
=3D
war years and I was born in London. I understand he was in the Estonian =3D
Merchant Navy and returned to Estonia to a wife and 2 sons,and =3D
subsequently spent 10 years in the Siberian Gulag. He survived and =3D
returned to Estonia where he died sometime at the end of the l960's. That =
=3D
is all I know.
=3D20
 I live in Oxford UK and would like to visit his grave and have more =3D
information about him. I intend, with my daughter and half-sister to visit =
=3D
Estonia in Spring. I know my father is not buried in Tallinn cemetary and =
=3D
wonder how I can trace where he is buried.
=3D20
 I understand that the Soviet forces were not good record keepers and =3D
information could be limited, however, I would very much like to find out =
=3D
more about my background.
=3D20
 I don't know how much you can help me with and am grateful for any =3D
asistance you can give.
=3D20
 We are also interested in looking at my mother's history though it is my =
=3D
father who predominates my interest at present. Her maiden name was Lukin =
=3D
and she was born in Tallinn and came to London in 1936.
=3D20
 Thank you,
