I've added a couple more excerpts from the a book about life in the Carpathians (Carpatho-Ukraine) circa 1947. It's just excellent. I've also added a link to a site with some up-to-date pictures from the region. I hope they bring some understanding of and appreciation for the land of our ancestors. The link is http://www.iabsi.com/gen/under/ Enjoy, ______________ Bill Tarkulich
