I also just found some street images for Ilok, Croatia (which used to be in Hungary). This is the ancestral homeland of my husband's paternal grandfather.Elizabeth Handlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529452862369140506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445639686053980930.post-87639841476706402302013-04-26T09:48:18.869-07:002013-04-26T09:48:18.869-07:00Great!

(Both towns were a part of Hungary at that time.)<br /><br />I was actually able to visit the towns last year, so it wasn't my first view of them, but it is still cool to see them.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779409214968505642noreply@blogger.com
