My grandfather, David Kastner, never talked about where he came from
as a young boy in 1900 - it wasn't done then. These immigrants only wanted
to make a good life in their new country - and did.

But after my mother passed away in 1993 and I started compiling my
family tree, I wanted to know as much as I could find out.
(my father, Morty Kastner died in 1970 at the too-young age of 55)
I called and visited all the older, living family members in all branches of

my
family, wrote letters (this was just before I acquired a computer and
email), did tons of research. My cousin and friend, Bruce Reisch
contacted me and then there was no turning back. Bruce visited
Bukovina in 1998. From that time on, I wanted to do the same. This
past July, I finally did and this experience has enriched my life
immeasurably.
There is no substitute for walking the same streets that my family had
walked on many years ago and no way to accurately describe the feeling
of doing this. So 112 years later, I returned to where my grandfather
had grown up.
