Image to Right
Many of our ancestral villages can now be viewed as satellite images from GOOGLE Earth, some in very clear detail. The street village along the top of this image is Solomka, Volhynia, north of Rowno, also known as Friedrichsdorf. Distance along the tree line on the right is just under 4 km. There are no longer any buildings where you see Goncharykha but if you look closely, you can make out the line of the former road and village plots of what maps show to be Srednie Solomka. Nickoty Solomka was along the south tree line. Using the GOOGLE Earth software, you can zoom in even closer to view the village detail.

Soundex Searches
SGGEE has begun the process of adding Soundex search capability (surnames only) in its databases. You can refer to our new Soundex Page for a description of how it works. The first page with this capability is our Master Pedigree Database search page (members only). This database now contains over 434,400 entries due to recent additions by Gary Warner.
