Wroclaw 44 | 5,369 18 Jul 2008 / #7The best place to look is either google or yahoo.search: kostopil ... There is an airport listed here.also search: Rivnewikipedia has infoYou 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 tooDid you check the rootschat thread and was it useful ?
OP m2722 3 | 4 18 Jul 2008 / #8yes thats where i got the information about the airport. my uncle was 9 when taken so he has vague memories, and my mother is dead. any one from that area who could be a guide?
Wroclaw 44 | 5,369 18 Jul 2008 / #9any one from that area who could be a guide?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.
