Surname-Village Database

Members of the EEGS have been voluntarily providing their ancestral village names and family surnames to the Surname-Village Database since 1992! In that time, the database has grown to over 6400 entries. Perhaps our database has your ancestral surnames or villages. Members are welcome to submit their data for inclusion in the database.
