[Korca-L] Thank you Nick

[Thomas Qafzezi]

Nick:

Thank you for our post in response to mine.   Actually my great  
grandfather is the individual who was born in 1906 and was born in  
Korce.   I am the 4th generation to be in the United States, which is  
why I don't know too much about the area there.   I was actually born  
in 1963, so I am only 44 at this time, although I sometimes feel like  
I was born in 1906.

I wish that taking a trip to Albania would be as easy as it sounds,  
but unfortunately, my work schedule keeps me very busy traveling a  
lot to our other company offices throughout the U.S., Europe and  
Latin America.   Hopefully within the next 2 to 3 years I will be  
able to get over there. Besides have to wait until our U.S. dollar,  
which sucks (Thanks to President Bush) becomes more profitable.

If it is not too much trouble, could you tell me a little bit about  
the "district of Kolonja" and/or the village of Qafzes?

Thank you my friend and have an awesome New Year.

Thomas

You went to Massachusetts in 1906 and now you are looking for your  
father !!
Whatever ...

Why don't you take a trip to Albania and visit the village named  
Qafzes, located in the district of Kolonja.

Happy New Year

Looking for living relatives in the U.S. or Albania who were related
to the following individuals:

Thomas Peter Qafzezi (came to Massachusetts in 1906)
Dhimitraq (Tacho) Qafzezi (Brother of Thomas)
George Peters (Cousin of Thomas and Tacho - Massachusetts)

Peter George Qafzez
Vasile Marko
*Parents of Thomas and Tacho who never came to the U.S. from
Albania.  The family was for Korce area.

Would love to discover any living relatives in the Massachusetts area
or Albania.   I do know that there is one cousin in Paris with him
Mom.  His name is Robert Qafzezi who produces documentary films.

What I am looking most for, is information on my great grandparents
who remained in Albania (Korce - Qafezi):  Peter George Qafzez
Vasile Marko.  Does anyone know how I can find information on them?
They would have passed away by now, but would have been in their 40's
to 50's ini 1906.


Thank you.
Thomas Qafzezi

P.S. Sorry that I don't know how to speak Albanian.  I am learning
only a little.
