RE: [Cz-L] Trip

Hi,Mimi! You are quite correct,I have no idea why I wrote 112000 when I
knew perfectly well that the cemetery area is 116000 square neters. I have
no idea of the identities of the people in the office,,one male and one
female,both very helpful and there was no chargea I will scan the paper I
got in Ukrainian and send,plus the map,which indicates grave 10(?10c) in
parcel 121. Cornel PS It's Marsha,not Marcia.

Dear Cornel,

It was fun meeting you and Marcia and I am glad that you were able to find
the grave of your father. When you write that the cemetery administration
people found a bunch of missing registry books, do you mean by these people,
Anzhela Nikolaeva, a dark haired skinny woman who is the cemetery
administrator?

Did you have to pay her for this "find"? May I ask in which area of the
cemetery or in which Parzelle you father's grave is located?
I by chance photographed a grave dating to 1941 in area #76, which used to
be Parzelle #20B.

By the way, the size of the cemetery according to Edgar Hauster's
measurements is 11.6 hectares, which is 116000 square meters.

Aufs Wiedersehen in Czernowitz.
