[Cz-L] Re: czernowitz-l digest: October 25, 2010

Hi. I want to introduce myself.

My name Is *EVELYN STURM*. (Paula did your Strum change ? You know some who
wrote pasports etc. sometimes made mistakes).

I live in Montevideo-Uruguay and my father Berthold Sturm spoke a lot about
Czernowitz.
My geatgrandfather was born in Sadagora.
Now that I am almost in my 50=B4s( and my children are slowly leaving the
nest) I am starting to look back and trying to re-construct as far as
possible my history.
Both my parents already passed away ,but I have documents etc. which were
kept at home.
I want to excuse myself if I make any mistakes when I write, but my mother
tongue is Spanish. I also speak German since my parents were born in Berlin=
.

Great to be part of this list.
Thanks and Regards,Evelyn
