Subject: [UKR-GENSEARCH] Where is Fuerstenland?
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2010 20:01:14 -0800


I have been working on a guide to free birth and baptism webpages, and
found a page that says Fuerstenland is in Russia, and other
references of it being in South Russia, but have also seen references
to it being in the Ukraine.

And if it is related to Fürstenland, I saw that seems to be
Switzerland. Is there both a Fürstenland in Switzerland and one in
the Ukraine?

My weakness in geography is really showing, and I want to get this
right. So, where is the area of Fuerstenland/Fürstenland now? Is
Ukraine sometimes referred to as South Russia?

The page I saw is at

http://www.mennonitegenealogy.com/russia/Fuerstenland_Baptism_Register.htm

And the page I have been working on is at:

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~thecohens/birthindexes.html

Also, if anyone can help by suggesting more free online birth or
baptism data pages for the Ukraine that would be good to add to the
Ukraine section, please speak up!

Thanks
