In our last video we have talked on how to find the geographical position of the town or village of your interest. We only talked about the area of modern Poland and today we want to add a short supplemental video, that will focus on its former Eastern borderlands.
As a part of our Genealogy Pro Tip series, we created another video that can help you in starting or expanding your adventure with genealogy.
Even if you have learned the name of the town or village your ancestors came from, it still might be hard to determine where its geographical position is exactly. In some cases, there are dozens of places in Poland with the same name and they can be spread across the whole country.
Very often the names of the villages were misspelled by the immigration clerks and figuring out which one did the mean poses a different challenge.
This is why in our video we present you two tools that we use in our daily work and that can help you with this matter.
