[Cz-L] Fwd: Info from Russ Banilla (Banyliv)

The information below comes from Luke Rothman, who visited northern
Bukovina last month. Take a look at his amazing photos and
documentation of the cemetery in Russ Banilla. The web site gives
you the option to view very large, high quality versions of each
photo. Luke has given me permission to share this photo site and
information with you.

Luke also writes ". . . the last photo is of an old woman who lives
next to the cemetery. She didn't speak much Russian (which my friend
is conversational in), so it was hard to communicate with her. But
she was telling us about a friend of hers, Klara Dauber, and found a
few pictures that looked like elementary school photos and pointed
her out. Just thought I'd mention it, since there are a couple people
with Dauber listed on the [Czernowitz] family finder."

Best regards,

Bruce
