Summer, 2006 Issue (Volume 26, No. 2)

Why a Special Issue on Napoleon?

Our goal as genealogical researchers is to take our families back in history. History itself is a major clue to their destiny. And the stories they left behind take us to the records. Whether this is a blind alley or the gold at the end of the rainbow, we do not know until we start.

By recording your stories here, we are laying a trail that allows you to open your history books. The precise dates and locations of Russian and French units are recorded in books and on internet sites. Due to space constraints, we have not put in the exact date to accompany these stories. Cossacks from the Ukraine, Saxons, the Polish Cavalry, the famous commanders Kutuzof, Ney, Oudinot and MacDonald all had their say in the lives of our ancestors. From Riga to Moscow, from Warsaw to Mogilev, follow their trail.
