I, too...Fantastic news, Susan (and a nice outcome)! I, too have had some nice contacts with landsman (including the family of the shtetl's Rabbi) since my KehilaLink site went live (after our JewishGen class together). For me the KehilaLink site (http://www.kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/yurovshchina/index.html ) provides not only a wonderful opportunity to honor the past with a memorial, but also a powerful genealogical tool to help us understand the communities our ancestors lived in both in Eastern Europe and their adopted countries. <br /><br />Oh, and by the way, while my Yurovshchina (aka Labun and Lubin) is not anywhere near Dunilovichi, I've been meaning to tell you that my gf's town, Kozyany (or Kazan) is a neighbor. I haven't started a KehilaLinks site for that one yet, but maybe sometime in the next year or so.Emily Garberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728999439188446783noreply@blogger.com
