Dear Justin

I visited Southern Germany recently and, in particular, the cemetery where
my relatives are buried. Fortunately "my" cemetery is in a better state than
yours. My contact in the area told me to contact the Mayor and gave me his
email address.

The Bessarabia Duma List Project is now completed. Another 55,000+
names have been added bringing the total to 128,000 names. The
Bessarabia Duma project is a listing of all men over the age of 24 who
were eligible to vote in the 1906 and 1907 Bessarabian Duma Election.
It includes all of Moldova and portions of the Ukraine. In the Ukraine
it covers the Black Sea area (Belgorod Dnestrovskiy, Izmayil, Kiliya,
Bolhrad, Reni, Vylkove and others) and the area just north of the
Moldovan border (Khotin, Novoseltsy, Sokiryany and others). This
database is a part of the ALL-ROMANIAN database. Many people worked on
this project but I would specifically like to thank Harry Green, Claire
Stuart and Leslie Oberman who were the "superstars" of this effort and
did the majority of the work. I would also like to thank Jewishgen for
all of their support and especially Warren Blatt and Michael Tobias.

I have names of towns which were located in Poland area but I am not sure

The names are KROCANKA ; CHAROLI ; JASZLO ; TASZLOV WROCZANKA GACZOSZAG

I don't know if they are all different names or all the same town.

Henry,

It appears that Polish town names were distorted.
Key word seems to be "Jaszlo" - this is town Jaslo at 4945 2128
"Krosanka" appers to be Kroscienko
"Wroczanka" is Wrocanka, located ~ 6 miles distance >from Jaslo

But Taszlov, Gaczoszag or Caroli sound like Hungarian places.

Dear Cousins,

Over the years I've met a few times with small genealogical groups, once
each time. The problem was that each of us had our stories to tell, and
wanted to tell those stories, which were common to all of us, and even
interesting at times. But there was no leadership and no organization,
thus little help to any of us. Most of the members, by the way, were
fairly experienced genners.

Can anyone offer a good plan of activity for such a group?

I suspect that you could set up a private discussion group (as per this
group but private - members only) which would be the best way to organise
such informal and random contacts.

Maybe someone could create a website (again compare a photo album) where
interesting documents and presentations could be lodged.

Someone else would have to tell you how to go about this.

Then again like this group you can contact those within the group with whom
you have something to share, impart.

By definition we are all a set of overlapping families, so that you have a
different family >from a first cousin's family - so that the only people who
have precisely the same as yours are your siblings, and then when you marry
your tree (including your spouse's) differs >from a sibling by approx 50 per
cent.
