Mikhail Tikh Family Tree

My name is Mikhail Tikh and I live in Minneapolis, MN. I recently became interested in researching my family. It is a hard to track down information that is not from the memory of my relatives. My family is from Eastern Europe, and most fled to Russia during WWII. Afterwards most of the family left for either America or Israel. If you know any information that can be added to the tree, or if you are a fifth cousin thrice removed and just want to chat, you can contact me at tikhx001@umn.edu. More will be added soon.

Here is an interesting tidbit someone on a message board helped me find:
From "A Dictionary of Jewish Surnames from the Russian Empire," by Alexander Beider. Page 576 has both forms of the surname :

Tikh (Vladimir, Litin, Odessa) O: see Tukh [Southeastern Yiddish].
Tikhman (Kishinev, Bel'tsy, Rovno, Novograd) O: see Tukh

On page 594: Tukh (Ponevezh, Minsk, Cherikov, Odessa) O: cloth, shawl [Yiddish] {Tukhman, Tukhov; Tikh, Tikhman (Tikhtman, Tykhman)}.

The abbreviation O = occupational surname
