    I know it can't be easy to research records in places like Poland, Ukraine, and Germany, but Dave Obee does a great job of presenting this information to the genealogy community. I enjoyed this immensely.

    So much detailed information and explanations of these groups of people! Push&Pull indeed! Dave always provides as much information as he has, including his own collections of books and resources used from boots on the ground!
