Dear Christine, Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your father. I hope that you are successful in finding some of his relatives and that your trip to his hometown of Budaors will be rewarding. My father was also born in Batschka Palanka (Deutsch-Palanka) and I wouldn't be surprised if his family knew your mother's family.
