Sadly, many of us are quite unfamiliar with the migrations of our ancestors. All too often, we know little, if anything, about our ancestor’s migrations, especially those which occurred in the dim past. The latest, and currently most popular, tool attempting to provide a ready response to our migration history is DNA analysis. However even DNA ethnic analysis model known historical migrations and events, as best they are able. Simply stated, without knowledge of history, we have few means by which to evaluate the accuracy of our DNA. (For those who follow my writings, I wrote on this topic earlier see: DNA & Ethnicity- Who, me?) The following links provide an…

Bessarabian and Volga Deutsch research is in many ways similar to other genealogical research, but in other ways it is quite unique. Like any genealogy or family history research, Germans from the Black Sea Region Research requires you have a good, sound foundation in the conduct of historical, genealogical research. If you do not already have a reliable degree of competency or comfort in the conduct of genealogical/ historical research, I recommend you check out the free courses and materials discussed on the ManyRoads’ Genealogy: Getting Started . Because the Germans from those regions originated from the German Empire and/or Kingdom of Prussia and were ultimately expelled from their homes in the Black…

Address Books (City Directories) ~ Adreßbücher This brief article focuses on one of the less-popular, but more useful, research sources. Like most Eastern German (including Prussian, Jewish, Polish, Mennonite) sources, many of these documents disappeared in World War 2 and its aftermath. Nonetheless perhaps due to the volumes produced, many address books survive in archives today. Key points about Address Books include: Address Books vary in terms of their years of publication. Although many begin to appear, in larger cities, in the mid-1800s and continue into the 1940s. Address Books are not restricted to any single region or area of the former German Empire (Deutsches Reich). They were pervasive in larger German…

The radio shows archived on ManyRoads are provided as an homage to my father. All have been obtained from the Internet and are in the public domain, so far as I am able to determine. This library represents shows he talked about when I was young, as well as some I remember from years gone by. It is my hope that he, and you, will find this library interesting, entertaining and perhaps a bit nostalgic. This library, currently with just under 1400 radio shows, will be expanded as I research, locate, and obtain additional materials.
