Genealogist Lisa Alzo shares successful strategies for researching your Eastern European ancestors.
A vast number of immigrants came to America from Eastern Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Border changes, language difference, political considerations, and unique surnames often complicate the search for Austrian, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Rusyn, Slovak, Ukrainian, and other Eastern European ancestors. This session covers traditional methods and online resources for tracking ancestors both in the U.S. and the old country, as well as proven techniques for overcoming common obstacles in the genealogical research process.
