Added map of the spread of Zylbernadels, in 19th Century Poland - 16 May 2011

I have added the history, as complete as it is, so far and started to add documentation, scans of records, files downloaded from various genealogical resource sites and photographs.

I have also added a family tree from FamilyEcho and started to make some use of the Joaktree component, built by fellow Amsterdam resident, fellow Jew and fellow Joomla enthusiast, Niels van Dantzig.

The work is still in progress...

From 1869 to 1900 - Spreading around the local area

All carrying the Zylbernadel name (or variant).

This era begins with the Russians punishing the area, after the anti-Tzarist uprisings, in 1867-8. From this point, all records were kept in Russian, as the territory became a part of the Russian empire. As the Poles were no longer in charge of record keeping, records of the Lublin and Radom area became sparse, for many years.
