Great presentation! I can't wait to go back and watch it again. Thanks.
This information was new to me. Thank you
wow what a great webinar. so much information.
Might explain why I am not able to locate records for my great grandfather
Exactly what I need for my Eastern European grandparents and relatives !
Was impressed by the speakers knowledge base. Wish he'd mentioned his own foreign language facility and how he picked up familiarity in the written and spoken languages. Appreciated the speaker emphasizing the importance of all documents - even more recent ones that lead you back on a timeline, and collecting/saving the documents when you first encounter them. Good geography lesson and really a whirlwind tour of changing boundaries from the beginning of the 20 century up to current time.
Very informative
Wow, great history lesson and also how to use maps in your research. I have been researching in Poland for my son-in-law and found this very interesting.
