I don't consider Germany to be part of Eastern Europe, but of Central Europe. Luckily, there's a solution to that. If you go to the drop-down menu in the upper left corner, it will tell you what countries they're calling Eastern Europe: Germany, Poland, Russia, and Czechoslovakia. A strange call, I grant you, but at least we know.<BR/><BR/>You can select just Germany, then find Bremer County among the little bubbles in Iowa. In 1900, there were 2,150 people of German birth in a population of 16,305. If you check the other three "Eastern European" nations, nada. I'm betting those 2,150 had a lot of children.Sempringhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14097820110236090973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16096467.post-27154712552380755822009-03-11T11:36:00.000-05:002009-03-11T11:36:00.000-05:00Thanks for the link. That map is really something...Thanks for the link. That map is really something. I checked Bremer County back in 1880, 1890, 1900.....the color shown is for Eastern Europe each time. I know Bremer Co. was settled heavily by Germans, so that color must indicate they came from an area that was considered East Germany?Jeannellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10506888396193293867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16096467.post-78357653092401771092009-03-11T10:47:00.000-05:002009-03-11T10:47:00.000-05:00That is so cool!That is so cool!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
