Last night I decided to journey across the ocean to see if I can figure out my German ancestry. Needless to say, I didn’t get very far, but I did find this interesting website. It displays the surname on a map! Looks like they are still clustered together in a central area in Germany! Pretty fascinating stuff! I came across this website with links that allow you to map your Surname within any country. Since one branch of my family originated from Germany, I thought this would be both fun and interesting! How I stumbled upon this website is a mystery to me, but it did prove itself to be entertaining. I started researching in Germany because I knew that is our family’s heritage and the surname is a German name. Once I located the majority of my family’s Surname I didn’t stop there! I continued to look at other countries for more. I searched England, Ireland, Scotland, and surrounding countries (Czech Republic, Austria, etc). The result of these searches proved that the surname I was researching is primarily centralized within a region of Germany, more than any other country. Where does this information take me? I’m not certain yet. I have never attempted to cross the ocean to research genealogy in the past, but this appears to be a fun adventure. Now, I need to research how to “research” German ancestors at this point. That alone will be an adventure! Here is a link to the website which contains a list of countries to search. Be aware that some of these are written in a different language. However, I found they are easy to navigate. Surname Distribution Map Happy researching! Have you mapped your family surname before? What interesting information did you find? If you are looking to Map Your Surname, I found the website linked below an easy one to navigate. You can find it HERE

scanned from large map provided with the 1896 Guide Joanne -- “Athènes et ses environs”, Hachette & Cie. This city plan is unusually useful for historical analysis, in that it shows (in faint print) former buildings, streets and covered-over rivers and streams. This is actually an historical record not only of how Athens was in the 1890s, but also what had been destroyed or covered over in recent decades.

First, we started off reading the book, Me on the Map. I also use this vocabulary to help my students! Now, onto the flip book! Here is an example of each page. Have fun and share a picture of how your flip books turned out in the comments!
