It's my hope that this web site will serve to encourage and empower people connected to the Koshko family name who want to research the lives and events that have been connected to it.. Rather than presenting a sterile collection of facts, this site should become a rich resource offering perspective and inviting reflection. The users should strive to provide accurate descriptions of events and personalities and they should welcome further research and verification when necessary. We should celebrate the rights and liberties of the people whose stories we tell. And this site should be a worthwhile destination--whether for satisfying curiosity or for furthering a quest.
