Re: [Cz-L] Jean's Introduction

Dear Jean,

You asked below about trying to contact any Kornblums from Israel related
to the Oling family. I have one for you - via Christian Hermann (who
else, of course!), Moshe Kornblum contacted me via Facebook. He is the
grandson of Berta Oling whose tombstone you found in the Czernowitz
cemetery. Berta's father, Zvi Hersch Oling, was buried in Sadagora ca.
1901.

I am asking Moshe to join our Czernowitz list, and I'll also ask for his
email address to put you in touch directly with him.

Warmest wishes,

Bruce
