So selo would equate to Hamlet? (Just like where I'm from).

No, hamlet is хутор in Russian. Selo is a big village with a church (before the revolution) or with Selsovet (after the revolution). All the other villages are smaller than selo. And "houtor" is smaller than village.

Traditionally (and today), a selo did indeed have a church while a derevnya didn't. A derevnya is slightly larger than a hamlet. A khutor is smaller than a hamlet - just one farmstead.

Hi Guys,
Any ideas about this one?

Here are a pair of names from award documents where the clerk has either been over excited or drunk. Both are family names, the first obviously ending "ov".
Translation Help - Auke - 02-25-2014
Seems like the second one is a signature. They might be Пиляков and Горницкий.
Translation Help - CtahhR - 02-25-2014
Piljakov certainly seems to work for the first one.
The second one is unfortunately not a signature. Petko ? tski. Could be Gorlitski as there are a few in Bulgaria.
These are always easier when they use a typewriter.
Translation Help - Auke - 02-25-2014
Indeed a very sloppy job!

Looks like Petko to me. I believe it's a common Bulgarian last name.
