I was turned to your website from Honoring Your Ancestor’s and decided to take the challenge. I mapped out where all my ancestors (that I know of) were in 1808. I am going to put it on my blog and on my family’s website now.
It was fun. Now I’m going to do 1708. Thanks for the challenge!

Hi, Donna,

We have an archival document from 1353 from Spain.
Does this trump the “where were you 200 years ago” ?

Oh well, I guess I can do a Mogilev, Belarus for 1808.

Great posting!

Hi Donna,

Oh ! How I would have loved to answer this and tell you about 1808 in my family ! I can’t for the meanwhile; it’s going to take more work.

I can relate with the geographical difficulties. In France ( where I live), genealogists are often struggling with some regions that belonged to other countries. Such as Alsace, near Germany, that has changed from French ato German and back several times, finally returning to France after 1945.

Have a nice day.
