From city living to village dwelling

Our episode starts with a quick recap of the last episode and how we approached the discoveries we made differently. This episode takes us from the city of Dresden to a very small village named Unkersdorf. Here, we explore the life in village and what our ancestors did during that time. And we might find some of this in our own life… or not. It really depends. And then we discover a significant change in our own family line and how one of the longest book titles is connected to our own family history. Hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it!Extra Resources:
