Often family researchers know only the country from which their ancestor emigrated. This presentation offers examples of American records that can answer the question, “But, exactly where were they from?” Finding an ancestor’s specific place of origin in the old country can open doors to foreign records that can add generations to your family tree, and bring greater appreciation of your heritage. You may even be able to stand where they once stood.

Wow, I don’t think she missed anything. Well done and so interesting. I don’t give many 5s.
very extensive and exhaustive
I really liked the concrete examples she showed. It helped keep the ideas flowing about how to be creative in searching for things.
Liz presents SO MANY great websites and tips! She does it so well that instead of feeling overwhelmed, you’ll feel EXCITED to dig in!
Excellent presentation that covered extensive resources including Cyndi’s List which a lot of researchers don’t know about. I think it was especially important on the immigration and naming process as many of the Eastern European names were drastically changed after coming to America.
so much great information I can’t wait to watch this again when I start researching my German ancestors
Incredible !! The speaker knew so much information about her topic and went into great detail. My paternal relatives came from Sweden and settled in the Buffalo, Minnesota, area, so I was especially interested in the details given here. Thank you for sharing your work with other people like myself who are continually learning about the genealogy journey.
A very good presentation, with lots of clear and helpful information. And I liked her sense of humor. (Which is always good.)
