I really love maps. I just wish that they wouldn't change so much. No, I'm not worried about the tectonics plates moving around the globe so much as the ever moving political borders that makes genealogy work so challenging sometimes. Sometimes answering the question of where your ancestor lived isn't so straight forward. Listen to this week's episode as we explore evolving borders and what that means for our research.

Oh boy, the name translating thing drives me nuts. Especially with Eastern European names.

I sympathize...I have 19th century Czech relatives..records are in German, Czech, & Latin. Sometimes a combination with abbreviations. The names are often translated too...GG grandmother is named Rozina, Rosalie, or Rosa, depending. A gggrandfather is Jan, Johann, Johannes or John, depending.
