After so much progress in the previous years, my investigation came to a standstill when my Ukrainian researcher was unable to find information about Grandfather's family in the Ukraine after 1917 when the Russian Revolution began. Also, I tried to contact the Czech researcher to go back even further than the amazing 4 generations he found in the Czech Republic, but he did not respond. Probably busy.
But -- GOOD NEWS!! Now that I am retired, I will have much more time to follow up on these things. And, as we've learned, technology is advancing in ways that make me hopeful to someday find out what happened to John Zvolanek's parents and siblings. My ultimate goal is to find answers, living relatives in Eastern Europe, and mend the lost connection.
Join me as I explore the mysteries within my grandfather's undelivered letter of 1917, written to his family in Russia.
