Publisher Description: In this work, Bruce Brandt and his father, Edward, furnish us with the surname of every German-speaking individual who appears in thirteen authoritative histories--eleven of them written in German--that document the massive emigration of Germanic individuals to Eastern Europe. In all, this work lists 19,720 surnames of German-speaking ancestors who emigrated to Russia, Poland, Romania, and elsewhere in Eastern Europe. In the introductory chapters to the book the authors provide an extremely informative history of German settlement in Eastern Europe and detailed summaries of each of their sources. |
