That is wonderful! I hope to find out some more information -- find the little kernels of truth buried in the family stories. Maybe even find out if I have any living relatives still there. My dad was there back in the late 50's or early 60's and there were at least two of my grandmother's siblings still living. Fingers crossed. Thank you everyone. Timya St. Paul, MN
