RE: [Cz-L] Updated Bucovina Region Vital Records database

Hi Bruce, Done, the Volunteer Agreement for JewishGen has been signed by Martina just now. Her email address is as follows mlelgemann@hotmail.de but please keep in mind that her English capabilities are even a bit more restricted than mine. Please contact her directly, but it might be necessary - for you and/or for me - to assist her. However, once the project will be on the track, the effort will pay off. Let's get started! Really warmest wishes to both of you, Bruce and Jerome, from your good friends from across the ocean. We wish you health, luck and always a balanced mood!
