Re: [Cz-L] Photo collections and the Bad Eye.

My mother used to say it all the time after saying I or somebody else was
fine and doing well - sounded like kinna hura in her Yiddish. My paternal
grandfather , named Shmuel Marcovici.,, was from Czernowitz. Any info on the
Marcovici family there? My father was a member of the Czernowitz-Bukovina
lodge in New York his whole life, so I grew up hearing the place.
