Here on my channel I share my journey, topics for adoptees, my vlogs, and support for others adopted, including their stories and journeys with my An Adoption Story series.
As a Russian-New Zealand adoptee, adopted at the age of two from an orphanage in Arkhangelsk, Russia, I share what I've been learning on my journey with my upbringing here in New Zealand, my current life, and how I connected with my birth family. I also share what my bloodline means for me with those connections from Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

Oh, Sasha, it's so hard to lose an elder. My mom died at the age of 101 a year ago, and despite the fact that she was ready to go, it devastated our extended family. I wish you love and grace during this difficult time.
Good work both on your biological family and your real family 👪
Any kind of family history is so interesting. I've been doing my family research over the past few years but I'm stuck with one part of my tree because one of my Great Grandfathers was left at an orphanage/workhouse in Manchester, England when he was only 3 years old. I'll have to go over sometime soon to do further research.
Thanks for sharing bro it's very interesting how far you can go back with ur family tree keep up the good work been enjoying ur channel 😊
Great work Alex. I've just realized that I'm from the same region and town where you from. Mind blowing
I'm so happy that you're spending time with your Grandma, Alex. Sending positive thoughts to you and your family.
As I wondered if we might be related, because I was born in New Zealand with genetics from the UK (Scotland, England, & Ireland) and Croatia (mine were gum diggers in the far north of NZ in the 1920's and so on), I looked up Podgora, and found my ancestors hometown of Drasnice right next door!! So, if you find any Hrstic or Glucina surnames in your tree, then perhaps we are related in that 'world family' kind of way. Good luck with your search. I was making my enquiries over 40 years ago now... but remember the thrill of finding out all about myself in this way. So proud of you for sharing your adventures with the world, and wish you all the best with your birth family as well as with your adopted family. 🙂🫶👍
I assume you use Scotlands People, before 1855, when Statutory records began, you need to use the Parish Records. Any marriage, death records after 1855 will have both parents included.
No subscription needed, just buy credits so that you can download copies of records.
My family is Scottish and I've got back to 1700s.
