On name Nuziuk I found two Russian sites. One is from city of Novosibirsk ( in Siberian part of Russia) and has name Niziuk Irina, student of one of the colleges there. http://fgo.nstu.ru/pr/21.htm I sent her e-mail about your grate grandfather and your e-mail address. On another site A.Nisiuk is asking the experts a question about car incurance, and he is from Priozersk District. No e-mail. http://wheels.cars.ru/2001/2/36.php3 There are two districts with this name, one is in Leningrad ( Sanct-Petersburg) Region of Russia, this place also was called Karelia. Political prisoners were kept there during tzarists Russia. Another priozersk District is in Kazakhstan (it used to be part of Russia), near lake Balhash. Priozersk means "next to the lake". Hundreds of thousands of people of Ukrainian, Polish, Lituanian, Finnland, Tatar, German etc. nationalities were sent to Kazakhstan during Stalin's times.
