My grandfather Stephen
Mikulin had three sisters and four brothers. All who were raised in the Detroit area. As far as I have been able to learn my great-grandmother and great-grandfather came from Kiev. It would have been the late 1800's. They original lived in PA and my great-grandfather tryed to get in to the
Army and changed his last name briefly to
Miller. He was unsuccessful and went back to
Mikulin. I have heard that the last name was shorten when they came to
America, I also understand there is a Diary written in Russian. No has bothered to have it translated, but one day I plan too. I don't know if any of this information will help but let me know.
Thank you,
