[Helen Gillespie]

Have been offline recently due to the sudden illness and passing of my
beloved Mother, Lydia Kukasch. Mom was delighted to have attended the last
SGGEE convention in Gatineau and was always sharing memories of growing up
in Wolhynia.

So, in catching up on my Documentary Heritage News,  distributed by Library
and Archives Canada, here are some items that might be of interest :
