FEEFHS = Foundation for East European Family History Studies. [As per FEEFHS June 2026 Newsletter].  

Genealogy  solutions aren’t always about researching your specific family, but are hidden in plain sight in academic journals. 

While the internet has changed since these were written, the masterclasses on how to track down your elusive East European ancestors remain completely relevant. Inside these archives you will find articles on:

  • Tracking specific migration patterns, like Germans from Russia or regional groups from Galicia and Bukovina.

  • Case studies written by professional genealogists showing exactly how they solved brick walls.

  • Navigating Foreign Archives and finding records that have not been published online.
