Re: [Cz-L] cemetery undergrowth

David et al,

  If you can get through security with it, it would be most helpful.

   Let me expand a little. The undergrowth and trees are VERY thick. We
had given Yuri P. the names for the graves we wanted to find, and I
believe he consulted the maps in advance. In spite of this, we had some
trouble. Physically walking through the cemetery, other than the main
walk, is not easy. There are graves with stones on the ground which you
can't see, and all kinds of other objects.
   I would strongly suggest that if you want to find a grave who's
location you aren't certain about, contact someone who can help in
advance.
   We did chop down a number of small trees near my ancestors graves. I
have heard that removal of the trees can shift the stones. We did not
do this, we left the stump.
   One final word. Many of the stones we saw were very deteriorated. If
you have any old photos of the stones, bring them.

  Dear All,

  If anyone who has been to the Czernowitz cemetery can advise me on the
  following point, I should be grateful.

   Would it perhaps be useful for me to bring with me a small foldable
pruning
   saw, to remove the occasional branch or sapling that might be
obstructing a
  grave?

  Would this be allowed?

  I look forward to your advice,

  David
