Advanced Search Capability
Search Our Full Name Index
Until 2021, each issue of the Die Pommerschen Leute contained a Die Vorfahren
(DV) section where subscribers could publish family group sheets. An index has been maintained that includes the
full name of each individual contained in the DV items.
Enter the surname and given name of one of your ancestors in the spaces below. The search
looks for an exact surname match and a given name that begins with the characters you enter. You will be
taken to another page that displays the results of the search.
