Re: [Cz-L] A Sunken Treasure of Czernowitz

Edgar,
Thank you for sharing this. Now I'm so anxious to put in my family's info.
When we were there in 2009 I had the opportunity to search through the
original books shown here with my own hands. We searched starting in the
1870's. A wealth of information for sure!

thanks again,
Ilana
