Geographical Origins

 

The geographical origins of many people in our genealogy are given below by their current name and country.  In some cases the name of the location, known to our ancestors was very different. By clicking any of the links below you can learn more about the history, location of that origin and how the name may have changed. The FAMILY HISTORIES tab above also contains family stories tied to these places.

As we learn more about these towns, we will add to the content online.
