Dee, I'd guess that the Romanian list you tried to join is a non-functioning one. You might check to see if YAHOO! has any Romanian lists. I am not at all familiar with Romania and I'd guess most people on this list are in the same boat. I can however, offer some general suggestions/ideas. If Helen Anuszkiewicz and Raymond Bacican were married in the U.S. then they probably did not know each other in the "old" countries. Have you tried locating their U.S. church marriage records? Those might have birth/baptismal village information. See if you can locate the name(s) of the Romanian towns using this site: http://www.fallingrain.com/world/RO/ Scroll down to Alphabetical listings and start clicking your way to the actual village names.

It lists the ciyt/county/town in Romania they were from (or maybe sailed from?), however, I cannot make out the name.

So, I am thinking that maybe Greatgrandmom's parents were from a southern area of Poland and Grandpop's were from a northern area of Romania. > > Appreciate any ideas or thoughts. > Thanks > Dee > > -- > Dee Kaelin Maialetti > Philadelphia, Pa. > ************** > Listowner: KAELIN-L > **************** > Kaelin Ancestry Page > http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~kaelin/index.html > **************** > Genealogy Blog: Looking Into The Past > http://lookingintothepast.blogspot.com/ > **************** > Cemetery Photography Blog: Perspectives > http://perspectively.blogspot.com/ > ********************************* > Need to contact the list manager?
