Hey, so this is a strange question. I have been able to do genealogy on the patriarchal side of my family who were Dutch and European back to about 1100, where the records are hard to find and have delved into ancient forms of language I can’t read. (May I say here that amongst my regrets is that I am not the Duchess de Bitche, but gods I want that title. I promise to wear flowy black robes that swirl when I turn and everything!.)

But, do I know anyone, or anyone who knows someone that does genealogy in Eastern Europe and / or the Arabic speaking world? Not asking for free help, genealogy is not a hobby at this level, it’s a profession for which I am prepared to pay for knowledge workers.

DMs are open, so you’re not putting anyone’s name out in public if they prefer not. Thanks gang!

Do you use wikitree?

I started building a family tree there and found help from relatives previously unknown to me. My tree got bigger very quickly.

@johnlogic I have not. I used….i want to say it was Geni way back in the day to verify some records, and the side that came to the US pre-revolution is pretty well documented there, it’s only the folks that came in through Ellis in the 19th century that I can’t trace because of language barriers and the fact that one family’s name was changed at the immigration court.
But I’ll give it a look, thanks!
