This is the town of Cecehov where my Grandfather was born. We have come a long way to see it and have no idea what we will find. Our friend Maria from the hospitality club has arranged for us to be able to meet my Grandfather’s cousin Jan Leno and his wife Maria. Unfortunately she ended up have to tell them of Albert’s passing.
This is a picture of Jan and Maria. They were very nice people and welcomed us into their home as family. We had some copies of old family pictures. I wished that I could have brought some current pictures to leave with them.
This is a picture of the main street of Cecehov. There are not really any other streets. Our expectations were that Cecehov would be an impoverished rural town. What we found instead was a beautify kept little village.
This is Catarina and her mother. Catarina did some amount of translating for us. She was very embarrassed to use her English. We gave them some pins and they gave us a business card holder and some coins with the Cecehov town crest.
