What I mean by what I said is I used ancestry.ca to research family trees, which go surprisingly far back. I managed to trace some relatives back to the 1700s. But I will look into that, thanks.

Same applies to MyHeritage, and in fact a larger proportion of my relevant matches on MyHeritage have trees.Quote:

Wow, I really had no idea. I would bet on the coastal part, but this Buzau is more hinterland, at least it seems to be on the map. Interesting. Is this also why Wallachians can plot more southern?Quote:

Dobrogea region at that point was not controlled by neither Wallachia nor Moldavia, so this was the coastal part.Quote:
