My father wants to research his family tree, and as the person in his life who is Good At The Internet I have been conscripted to help. So far this has proved to be loving impossible. Here's what we have going for us: -My dad has a good memory for family history -His father kept a journal with some records of births/deaths in it Here are the setbacks: -As far as anyone can tell we have been Turkish farmers for a few hundred years with no links to nobility and thus few online resources -The Baltic wars happened and everything got messed up forever, leading to a loss of official records from his village -Everything is in Turkish, which I can't read -Everything before 1920 is in old Turkish, which my father can't read -No one had a surname before ~1930 Are there any resources out there for non-European genealogy research? Do we just suck it up and go to Turkey to dig through old documents?
