Hi there, I was born in The Netherlands, 40 years old, now living in the USA, and traveling to the Ukraine this summer to hopefully find the house of where my grandmother lived before ww2.
The place where she lived is called Karpylivka/ Karpilovka, near Oster, North of Kyiv / Kiev;

Looking for people in that area to connect with. I do not speak Ukranian or Russian, but do speak Dutch, German and English.
Thanks!

Hi @vincent78 ,
Wow! The journey you are taking is really amazing and grabs the heart. I really hope you’ll manage to complete your mission.
I personally haven’t been to Karpylivka, just to Kiev, and unfortunately can’t help you directly. But you could read this post of @Anonymous_f58107ae975932c265b357941e597ba7 and hopefully find someone to help you.
Have a great time in Ukraine!
Thanks for the tip, I will follow up on your lead:)
Have a great day!
