My trip to Ukraine

[poolman]

Thank You all for your comments. That is exactly what I want to do: to take some dust and lay it down at my father's grave.
Thank You Hannia for some really nice words. My father and all his ancestors where born / lived in Stryjówka ( Stryivka ) - a few miles south from Zbaraż (Zbarazh ). ( I do not know if I spell it right in ukrainian ).
I will copy your idea about "Facial Mud Mask" Kim . Very clever
Serhii and Wilko - I know very well what you mean. My family is Polish ( but I live in The Netherlands more than a quarter of century ) and I experience the same here when you are for example asked if they are telephone cells in Poland etc. But once again - I do not read Kim's rapport as something like that. She did not try to describe good or bad but only her own observations. You all know that there is a lot to do - also in Poland - if you will compare it to the western countries but that is no reason to be ashamed of after such a long time of russian rule without freedom and without free market economy.
Once more thank you all for your response.
take care

Dear Hannia,

I have already seen a few microfilms by the Mormons, I will see more soon. It is not easy because of uprising in 1863 when men changed names hiding for russian agents. Thank you once more for your help and good word.
I can not wait to go to Stryjówka for the first time in my life in the spring next year......
take care
