Question: How to spell Ukrainian/Russian surname!?
I'm trying to find an old classmate of mine from elementary school!. I know he still lives in the area (Seattle), but I don't know how to spell his last name (I don't have any yearbooks with him in it), so I can't find him on the white pages!.

His last name is pronounced "Vera-jook" or "Bera-jook" and is of Ukrainian/Russian origin!. I don't know if that surname is common or not, but any ideas of how to spell it would be appreciated!. I'm pretty sure I'll recognize the spelling once some of you guys throw some ideas my way!. Thanks in advance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
