I can't get over that strong conviction that everyone's life deserves to be shared...to be remembered.

Unfortunately, there are not many, and they don't fit my parameters. Of course, I'll keep looking! Stuff is coming online daily at a phenomenal rate.<br /><br />I so appreciate all those volunteers who make "random acts of kindness" a reality. Thanks for mentioning them, Wendy. I'm hoping that I can include a day in the city as part of my next visit home to visit family. A library trip like this one would require some advanced contact, though. I'm not thinking those photographs are from someone's personal scrapbook...Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-69143519154111345992014-03-19T07:08:37.569-07:002014-03-19T07:08:37.569-07:00Your inquiry into Aktabowski family at least turne...Your inquiry into Aktabowski family at least turned up some "unexpected" variations on how to spell the name.<br /><br />I would think a biography or even a novel based on Genia's life would be a good seller.

How are they getting those old old old documents? <br /><br />If you want copies of those articles in the NY library, there are genealogy groups who practice "random acts of kindness" -- bet you'd find a person willing to do that for you.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
