Hello Erin,
A question or two.
What is a (Slavic) ?
I have over 70,000 names in my family history.
What with my children, husbands, ex's, cousins,
and you must know how that can go.
I was just wondering what I should be looking for ?
If you do not mind my asking ?
I know that there are German, Dutch, Wales, Italy,
Irish, Polish, English, Scotland, Mexican, Canada,
and a lot of I don't knows.
