FEEFHS Genealogical News Update

The latest news about genealogy in Eastern Europe, powered by Google News.

This search is based on key genealogical words, plus the names of our countries of interest.

Some material on some news sites does not meet the FEEFHS standard for diversity, harmony and unit. We have made an attempt to block stories that would not be appropriate for this site.

Be warned that not everything here will be relevant - for every interesting story there might be 10 that are little more than ads for local events. We expect, however, that this summary will usually contain a few nuggets to make it worth coming back.
