The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness. - Dostoevsky

Human life is but a series of footnotes to a vast obscure unfinished masterpiece. - Vladimir Nabokov

With the emergence of the Internet, searching for one's "roots" has become increasingly popular and much easier. There are literally hundreds of resources relating to genealogy on the Internet. We will try to focus on the "how-to" of searching and the sites that would interest those looking to or from the Newly Independent States for their heritage.

If you are interested in talking with others who are researching their "roots" in Russia and other NIS countries, we have developed a listserver called for Russian/NIS genealogy called FPGEN. We thought this would be helpful (and interesting!) because of the large amount of inquiries received at F&P from those researching their families history. We have also just created (February 9, 1998) the F&P Genealogy Bulletin Board for sharing information for those researching their roots in Russia/NIS.
