Event Details

Many people become interested in researching their Eastern European ancestors because they want to learn more about where their family came from-specifically, to find out which ancestors came over from the “old country” and when. To “cross the pond,” you need to know the name of the town or village where your ancestor lived. This presentation will review how to identify your ancestor’s place of origin, and how to begin exploring resources in the home country and find your family in foreign records. A brief overview of how to locate and access records in various Eastern European churches, archives, and other repositories will be provided.

Fun Facts

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
