Chris-- I found extensive info about villages in Volhynia, Ukraine, from: http://shangrila.cs.ucdavis.edu:1234/heckman/volhynia/ I don't know whether you can find similar info about other regions or countries by backing up from that URL, but you might give it a try. Also, try: http://ic.net/~ggressa/ukr.html/ Good luck > Now that I've found my ancestral townnames, I've gone back through my > notes and found a list with corresponding townnames. > Unfortunately, I didn't write down the web site where the original list > is. Can anyone help me?
