Web post reunites cousins after 70 yearsIt's genealogy, people.

COCONUT CREEK, Fla. -- Two South Florida sisters are catching up with their Russian cousin after 70 years apart. Ossie Rasher, 81, and Sophia Altfeld, 78, last saw their cousin Rosalie Berkovich, 80, in 1937 when the sisters fled to the United States with their parents.
The families lost track of each other until decades later, when Berkovich's relatives tracked down the two sisters using a family tree posted on geneology.com.
Berkovich flew from her home in Acton, Mass., for a reunion Friday night at Altfeld's home in Coconut Creek. They are also planning for a larger family reunion.
For now, the three are catching up by exchanging family photos and stories of life journeys.

Cousins, Don't Try This at Home!
Oops! Where was the copyeditor here? They're just lucky "geneology.com" isn't a porn site (whitehouse.com used to be--ewww).
