Hi Bob: What a lovely place to live

We moved south of Calgary to Clarsholm after 40 years in Calgary. It got too big

I too get angry when I see what is going on. I have just begun my search in Ukraine. I did find a cousin living in Chernivtsi who was a member of parliament (that is how I found him) and we keep in touch. He is so upset what is happening to the country but can't seem to do much. I keep saying "you have to get opposition parties to drop egos and join together" Not sure if he hears that. Beyond him, I have not had much luck, but still keep trying. Wow, 1790. How did you manage to find records etc that far back. I have considered hiring a researcher.
Lucky you making the trip. We had hoped to go, but my husband is awaiting knee replacement!! 3 years agi I shattered my hip while visiting Merritt. That slowed me down a bit.
Thanks for your response.
Joyce p.s. our name is not that common, so maybe that is why it is harder to find.
