I am searching for any family members of Leonid Sofienko who arrived on this 
ship. Leonid was born in 1904 in Nikolaev Ukraine and was missing ever since WWII.  
Since I found that he was alive I am trying to find his relatives who 
would be willing to contact me and my mother who is his great niece.  
If you have any information please contact me.
Thank you, Karina
