To clarify a prevalent misspelling
The correct spelling of her paternal family surname is, and always has been, Zacharenko (with a "c", not a "k"). It's corroborated by immigration, marriage, and birth records. See, for example, Natalie's paternal grandmother's petition for naturalization{{cite web|title=Petition for Naturalization, no. 39584|url=https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-8BVN-4F1|website=FamilySearch.org}} and her parents' marriage registration,{{cite web|title=San Francisco County Records, 1824-1997|url=https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-95DC-9L6|website=FamilySearch.org}} as well as the birth registrations for her paternal first cousin Kaisa{{cite web|title=Kaisa Vladimirovna Zacharenko|url=https://californiabirthindex.org/birth/kaisa_vladimirovna_zacharenko_born_1947_3565086|website=CaliforniaBirthIndex.org}} and paternal first cousin once removed Karolyn.{{cite web|title=Karolyn Zacharenko|url=https://californiabirthindex.org/birth/karolyn_zacharenko_born_1970_11179408|website=CaliforniaBirthIndex.org}} The widely propagated misspelled version ("Zakharenko") stems from Suzanne Finstad's 2001 book. No press articles prior to 2001 about Natalie Wood or her sister Lana ever contained the misspelling "Zakharenko"; it was always Zacharenko. For further evidence, see their parents' engagement announcement.{{cite web|title=Intentions to Wed|url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/131021702|newspaper=Oakland Tribune}} Ieonine (talk) 05:20, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
