 === OCR Surname Database ===
 * Use the [https://www.rtrfoundation.org/newwebsite/ocrsearch.php OCR Surname Database] (optical character recognition) to search for your ancestor's surname. This database is comprised of information from business directories, address calendars, telephone books, typed name lists, and name lists from books and from archives.
-** To search, type in the surname, and you'll find an automatic translation of the surname into Cyrillic appear in the second box. Repeat the search twice - once using the Latin Letter search, and again using the Cyrillic Letter search. Searches may yield different results. Once search results appear, you can use Google Translate to help you navigate search results. If using the Chrome browser, right-click anywhere and select '''Translate to English'''. If you are looking at a telephone directory, the original directories have been donated to the U.S. Library of Congress. View the original by selecting the '''Get Page Scan''' button.
