We are proud to announce a new feature to enhance your research. See our
shtetl map under the Research tab. You can search with the pull-down menu
on the upper right hand corner of the map, and enlarge or reduce the view
with the plus and minus symbols on the lower right of the map. More than
420 shtetls are recognized.
This map demonstrates visually where our ancestors once lived.
Borders changed frequently. Therefore some of the shtetls are now in
Belarus, Latvia, Poland and Russia.
Enjoy surfing the map, see your shtetl in relationship to its surroundings!
