Genealogy / how many know their own family histories? [139]

I would love to have the time to trace my family roots. My grandmother's parents were Polish and Russian and my grandfather's were German. They all went to America at some point in time. That's on my mother's side. On my father's side, his family came from Lithuania. So, it's a lot of tracing! I'm thinking about hiring someone to do this for me - any suggestions?

Travel / WE ARE BACK FROM POLAND AND HERE IS OUR REPORT [96]

Great report Rjrogalla! We have been thinking about going to Poland for a long holiday. We drove there once from Holland - went to Auschwitz. I remember driving through this little village (can't recall name) on the way - no one spoke English but they were incredibly friendly to us. Driving was a nightmare, however living in Holland for several years now and travelling around a bit to other countries in Europe - I have to say the Dutch are some of the most aggressive drivers I have ever encountered. I find myself behaving the same way occasionally just because it's so frustrating!
