Travels, continued
I’m so fortunate, as a genealogist to not only always have varied research to do, but also to be able to travel to meet with clients and do research. I must admit, though, that recent travel and upcoming travel are … Continue reading

In Memoriam…
Now that the Jewish holidays are almost over (one more set is coming up this Monday and Tuesday, I wanted to post about events in October 1941 coinciding (very deliberately) with the end of Sukkot on Hoshana Rabba in Stanislawow, … Continue reading

Tues., Aug. 28: Krakow
I don’t think I previously discussed a challenge we confronted in our travels. Both Marek and I have previously rented cars in Europe. I think that Lindsay said that she also had. Gas pumps work the same way they do … Continue reading
