My trip to Lake Synevyr with my friends. Afterparty

Great photos and post. I was in Slovakia last June and visited Kosice and from there went a little further west to Zavadka to visit my maternal grandparents birth place. My paternal grandparents come from Galicia which is on the north side of the Carpathian mountains. Thank you for sharing your adventures!

Oh, I know perfectly well where Galicia is, because I live there! And where exactly did your ancestors come from?

My paternal grandmother came from Smolnik ad Baligrod. I visited that small village back in late 1980's. Her husband, my grandfather, I think came from the same village or maybe near Smolnik. All records I can find on him indicate he came from Austria-Hungary. Through all my research, I cannot find any birth documents for either of my grandparents. However, my grandmother did have a translation version of her birth certificate, and that is how I know she came from Smolnik. Do you think you could help me in any way? I would be so appreciative. My grandfather's surname is Onufer and my grandmother is Skomsky. I spent 23 years living in Europe, particularly Germany and Belgium, while I was a pediatrician in the American Army. My wife and I go back to Europe on vacations once or twice each year. In May-June we will be spending time in Germany, where her ancestors came from. I know you responded to my entry last month, but I just realized that today....so I hope you will see my response to you sometime soon. I look forward to hearing from you.
