Does anyone know of a Russian or English site that explains the rules or anything about Dual Citizenship between Russia and the US?

hi everyone! my name is summer, and i studied russian for about two years in high school through a friend from belarus. i learned the alphabet, a handful of nouns & pronouns, and a handful of verbs. i was well on my way to becoming comfortably capable of basic conversation, but then i had to learn spanish for school and i lost nearly all of my russian. it got too confusing to keep up two foreign languages at the same time -- three actually, if you count my three years of studying latin. bleh!

anyhow -- right now i'm doing some family history research. if anyone in this community is fluent or quite proficient in russian, i'd be so grateful if you could help me! below i have an old birth certificate from 1888 for Teofil Kravulski -- my great-grandfather. it actually appears to be in old russian with all of its hard signs and whathaveyou.

could anyone decipher the handwriting, or even help me with the translation of the entire thing? things like this make me so sorry that i left my study of russian behind. i'm basically trying to find out who Teofil's parents are, and perhaps the location of his birth -- though ANY help with ANY part would be wonderful.

it's at http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/rumball107/teofil.jpg

or, view it right here )

spacibo! hopefully now with this community, i can keep my russian in practice at least slightly.

Privjet,
I have a question regarding my nickname I use for surfing the net. Could anybody tell me the meaning and origin of the name "Sinaida"? I asked a russian friend of mine - her given name *is* Sinaida - but she could't tell me. *g*

Greetings,
Sina
