It wasn't exactly their choice of course - Joe insisted - but anyway, as a part of a family history project, he's willing to pay somebody to go there and try to find the house? - the place where it once stood? some other traces? and take a few pictures. Obviously, with COVID, it may be limited to people who live there or nearby - perhaps, dear Forum members, you know someone there?
Any other suggestions on how to accomplish something like that would be very welcome.
RespectfullyTomasz

My schoolmate lives in Topchikha. May 2, 2020

If your client know the name of the street or some other details of where was the house, I can ask her to do photos.
