Oh my word, that is so interesting. I bet you end up researching a lot of local history to help fill in the gaps or reasons for gaps/name changes. The russian progroms would have been in full swing in the late 1800s I suppose.

What about the Titanic link, talk about lucky escape. I bet little snippets like that are like gold nuggets. I think it makes the people more human rather than just dusty names in history, maybe because  Titanic still feels recent due to the number of films about it.

Do you have to do a lot of travelling to get the info.... I know census are on line for England and Wales but I was thinking of places like S. Africa.
