www.felizienthal.com: Jim Lang created this website featuring a trip to the village of Felizienthal (now, Dolynivka), and telling the story of his quest to find this village on behalf of the Lang family. The last third of the first video is a great summary of the history of many of our ancestors and all 3 videos present a moving presentation for anyone first visiting their ancestral home. Sadly, the church in Felizienthal burned down in October 2006 but Jim has created a website with a wealth of information about the Lang family and the village.
