    Finding Genealogy Data in Central & Eastern Europe

    Lately, I have received a significant number of inquiries regarding how to ‘best’ approach the conduct of German- Prussian- Polish- Shoah research. The questions I have received point to a number of common questions, without specifically re-stating the questions, I will detail their responses here: I understand that English-speakers want European Records written and searchable in English. However… I am obligated to point out that our European ancestors may have spoken and written in languages other than English; and so… their records will ‘most likely’ be in their native languages (or perhaps Latin, Hebrew).

    LinkedIn Groups- update

    Due to the new LinkedIn format and its horribly cumbersome and time consuming Group Management interface, I will no longer review status of my genelogy groups on a daily basis.

It is my long term intent to find a more friendly (technically speaking) location to host my genealogy groups. In the event I am unable to uncover a more friendly and free hosting location, I will discontinue the groups entirely. The Groups involved include: Ethnic German Genealogy Genealogy Guild Généalogie Quebecois Genealogy Polish- Prussian Genealogy – Polski- Prusy Genealogia…
