Hello all, I have finally got my head above water after returning from our three week group tour to Europe, including the Banat. A good time was had by all, due in no small part to our two guides, Stasa Cvetkovic and Sorin Fortiu. Stasa is an organizer extrordinaire and Sorin is the authority on Banat, especially Romania. Their knowledge of people and places and their translation skills were vital components of our trip. I can't say enough good things about both of them. If anyone would like to follow our trip, I posted a blog at zichydorf10.blogspot.com. -- Glenn Schwartz President, Zichydorf Village Association (http://zichydorfonline.org) Searching: Schwartz, Kleckner, Schönherr in Zichydorf, Banat; Schüssler, Millecker, Lenhardt in Kudritz, Banat; Bardua, Kandel, Heuchert in Kolomea, Galicia; Kuntz, Holzer, Kraft, Wolfe, Folk (Volk) in Kutschurgan, Russia; Macht in Volga, Russia.
