FamilySearch microfilm and digital cameras have been filming continuously in Central and Eastern Europe since their initial agreement with Hungary in 1959. Since then, all but 3 countries in East Europe have had camera–capture projects to capture images of records that assist genealogists from around the world. Today there are nearly 30 digital cameras preserving records in archives in the area. These projects include a large number of Jewish records, especially those found in archives in the area of the Pale of Settlement.
This presentation gave us an idea of where records have been digitized, what records have been digitized, how to access the records and indexes, and where FamilySearch and their partners are strategically planning to capture additional records in the next 10 years. It showed us tips and tricks on FamilySearch on how best to access the images and searchable records as well as add our own information to the family tree.
