There is a whole thread about this at: rootschat.com

On the homepage.. click on Immigrants.....scroll down to....... Where is Annowalu.

You should find two pages of details.

Any problems PM me.

Grzegorz is correct with his info

The best place to look is either google or yahoo.

search: kostopil ... There is an airport listed here.
also search: Rivne

wikipedia has info

You also need an exact address for your mother, a modern map and an old map.

You have to double check everything. You never know what is still standing. Google Earth might be of use too

Did you check the rootschat thread and was it useful ?

Remember... We are talking about Ukraine not Poland.

It might be best to start a new topic and ask for direct help. There might be a forum member in or from Ukraine who can help you.
