GDO News and Updates

May, 2009
GDO genealogy database is
now available online and searchable! This database focuses mainly on
families from Alexanderhilf, Freudental, Neu Freudental, Josefstal and
Mariental. What is great about this database is that it includes the
notes and sources for each person in the database. And, since our ancestors
married outside of their own village, you may be surprised at what you find.
