The following pictures were taken by Susan, Barry, & Leonard Hantman in Ostrovy
Belarus in 1992 and 1994. Ostrovy is now part of Mikhanovichi but was a separate
town until 1993.

Welcome to Ostrovy.  This sign was erected by Leonard & Barry Hantman in
May 1994.  Previously, there was no sign for the town.
