Robin Lent - I have been creating projects for regions or groups of towns where people all emigrated together. My preference would be for individual profiles to ALSO be linked to projects for the area that they came from. And for those of us doing genealogy, it gets down to a finer grained distinction that only Polish versus Litvak versus Ukrainian. For instead Suwalki and Lomza are areas now in Poland formerly in Lita that were administered together and so it's a region that deserves a project. Similarly Trakai in Lithuania and Volhynia in Ukraine. Of course it makes sense to have an umbrella over these Districts or Gubernias so if someone only knows that their ancestor came from "Lithuania" the profile can point to the umbrella.

Malka Mysels, Randy Schoenberg and others, including me, have made a start on the regions. There is also a Litvaks project.

excellent...and way over my head..but, I cut and past like a pro

I can't get past turn of the century Chicago on my Father's tree, there might have been a name change.

Robin Lent send me email sometime on your family. I have made a lot of progress with mine and they are similar - turn of the century Peoria and Alton. I've learned a lot about doing research using Eastern European online sources and the Internet in general. And of eking out every clue from Ancestry records.
