    I know I'm going to be thrown major shade about this but, since you asked nicely, last October, I visited Russia for two weeks.

    Thanks for that. The mind goes after 70. I would like to go there and try to find relatives, but I wouldn't know where to start.

    Have you visited before at any time?  I would HIGHLY recommend it (late April to late October).  Would you happen to know your family's original Slavic surname?  That would make it much easier.

    I have not visited there. I studied the language many years ago. The only names in the written record dating back to the 1850's are Blumenthal aand Goldstein.

    Those are Saxon surnames... you may have to first do some research in Germany before continuing on to Russia.

    September 11, 2001. I visited Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar. Since then, I've only gone to visit family in other states.

    Limestone Coast for our 32nd anniversary last June. Naracoorte Caves, nature walk at Comaum, Penola (home town of Australia's only Catholic saint, St Mary McKillop) and about a zillion wineries.
