Feel free to drop in! Presentation: Eastern European Genealogy - Finding Ancestors amidst the Changing Map of EuropeFinding the place of origin of an immigrant is crucial to finding historic
records for that immigrant’s ancestors. Complicating matters are the changing
borders in Europe during the past two centuries as territorial acquisitions
obliterated some nations from the map. Border changes in Europe affected not
only the map of Europe, but also the records in which genealogists depend to
document their ancestors’ lives. Presented by: Stephen Danko - Stephen J. Danko was born in Albany, New York. Through the years he has lived in Vermont, Nebraska, and Oregon, and currently reside in San Francisco, California. All of Steve’s grandparents were Polish immigrants, which has led him to concentrate on 20th Century American Records and 18th and 19th Century Polish Records. His research in Poland has led to a new appreciation for European History and Languages. Steve is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, the National Genealogical Society, the California Genealogical Society, the San Mateo County Genealogical Society, the Polish Genealogical Society of America, the Polish Genealogical Society of Connecticut and the Northeast, and the Polish Genealogical Society of California.
