Description

In May I traveled to Rumania in search for my father's family roots.
I looked for my grandfather's flour-mill in Gura Solcii - a village in North Rumania.
The pre-WWII flour-mill no longer exists. This villager lives right next to where the mill used to stand.
North Rumania, May 5, 2012.

A wonderful portrait, Rony...her eyes tell much but the firm set of her mouth tells more. So sad about the mill but still, the opportunity to visit the village where your grandfather made his living and raised his family, must have been a wonderful experience and added a new and deeper dimension to discovering more of your "roots". #10244921
