                I thought you might be interested in this project to restore the cemeteries and the Jewish Heritage of a village in Rohatyn in the Ukraine.  Marla Osborn is a cousin of mine, whom I have not yet met, with whom I connected through my 23andMe DNA test kit.  She has been visiting and researching the history of the village of our shared great-grandparents for about 10 years.  She and her husband Jay Osborn established a Foundation to support her research.  They got so involved that they actually left their home in California and moved to Rohatyn!                   Marla created a family tree in 2011-2012 and I am currently trying to convert the files so that I can modify and update our family tree.                 If you’re interested in this information, I’d like to hear your feedback.

Enough with identity.  I have a question that you might be able to answer: Most of the Doranzes have lived in Trenton since the 1890's.  Is there any way I can get more information on Dave Silverstein who my brother Jeffrey Doranz (do you know him?) remembers was a sheriff in Trenton in the 1950s and may be a rel
