The BAUMs of Kurima
There are two parts to this website - the main section and a password-protected
section. The password-protected section has a proper (incomplete!)
family tree, with protection because it will have information on living
people. If you are a family member,
contact me and I will give you a password.
For those of you puzzled by the title, Kurima is where Abraham and Eszter
Baum were born (1825 and 1842), before they went to Vidrany, where their
children were born. Kurima is a bit west of Stropkov, in northeastern
Slovakia. Vidrany is east of Stropkov and is in fact no longer an
independent entity, but rather part of the border city of Medzilaborce.
Stropkov is of significance, both because it is a decent sized city and
because there were Baums there who very likely connect to our branch.
Check back often. I am trying to add information as fast as you
can provide it. (Latest update is in bold.)
