Adventures in Genealogy

This blog was started when I began to research my genealogical history. I will use it to document my family tree (and stories) to the greatest extent possible. The purpose is to create a record of the family on the off chance that, 100 years from now, somebody has a curiosity about who we were and where we came from. I don't expect it will be of interest to the vast majority of those who may stumble across it (I come from modest stock). Mostly, it's something I've created for myself.

Finally!!

I've finally heard back from the International Tracing Service in Germany that holds records about people who were in forced labor camps during (and displaced persons camps after) WWII. My initial request was way back in January. There's loads of information, and it'll take me quite a while to look through it all (especially since I'm going away on a work trip for three weeks tomorrow, and I haven't even gotten back to the poor relief records yet). But I think these documents will have the records I need to apply for Lithuanian citizenship. Very excited to have a look.
