Welcome to my travel pages!
I became interested in genealogy more than ten years ago when my son had to build a family tree for school. I was dismayed to realize how little I knew about the people and land that formed our heritage. My relatives left little in the way of a paper trail so I had to be creative and persistent. Along the way, I met many people and learned so much about history, geography and being part of a larger whole.
In July, 2006, my son and I traveled to Western Ukraine in search of our heritage. Finding lost family was totally unexpected and made the experience seem like a fairy-tale!
I was five when my grandfather died. He loved to buy me pretty dresses and read to me. I remember sitting on his lap while he read "The Little Engine That Could". I can still hear him saying, "I tink I can, I tink I can... I knew I could, I knew I could!" These words have come full circle and accurately sum up my feelings about this journey into my family's past!
Indispensible to our experience were the services of Slav Tsarynnk, Lvivecotour.com. We highly recommend him!
