About project |
Reading art and popular scientific products, using electronic mass-medias, I have heard the native surname quite often. In spite of the fact that the people I was talking about, most likely, are not my relatives. I had genuine interest to find out about them more, to ask about a history of their family, to search for the origin of the surname, to learn ethymology of Matuseviches, simply communicate to the namesakes living in different places of globe or even in the adjacent house. It is known, that the people were always united on the basis of something common, close. And what can be closer than our own surname? Within the framework of the given project is creating a Internet-resource connecting people which have surname Matusevich. The contents "Matusevich's Planet" include genealogical, informational and entertaining materials, assiting in creation of a popular virtual platform for dialogue, additions of knowledge about the past, finding of the relatives, to watch kin connections, to make new friends and cheer up the visitors. "Matusevich's Planet" creating as an open international bilingual resource, constructing by the most active participants. Few words about the spelling of our surname in latin letters. In different languages it is written differently: in French - MATOUSSEVITCH, German - MATUSSEWITSCH, Polish - MATUSIEWICZ, in Byelorussian latin alphabet - MATUSIEWIĈ, in Ivrit - מטוסביץ. However in the name of the project the surname is written in English transcription (in "trivial" writing, there is also another - "MATUSEVITCH") because such variant is closest and recognisable (in search results on Yahoo! Altavista, AOL etc.) by our namesakes who live outside the former USSR and familiar with English. In fact, English language has the biggest talking area in the modern world and almost the standart in Internet. |
