@tomboy: Just read your latest reply concerning my trip last year. It was such a wonderful experience to visit the family in Slovakia. As I mentioned before, they even saved old photos of my dad and his family for over 60 years. They thought my dad also died in the car accident in 1947. Their father, my dad's first cousin, tried to contact my dad to see if he was still alive, but by then my dad relocated to California after having taken care of the burial arrangements for his family after the accident. Then, the Communists made it harder for communication. We had a nice family dinner with my four cousins who spoke to my dad on video with the help of a translator. It was fortunate to have a relative who is an English teacher! We visited many historic sites and saw some beautiful old wooden houses, went river rafting and visited my grandmother's old village. We are going back to Slovakia this July. I posted a new topic since we are going to spend three nights in Slovakia and then move South to Hungary. Thanks for all your help in this post from last year! Artsyoma
