I dont know if this topic had already been adressed here.
Anyhow. After many futile attempts in the past few years i (more by accident, as usual
) found the link with the right sources. Although lots of documents were destroyed in WWII (paternal family is from the Baltic) there obviously was still quite something left. I was able to trace back 6 generations (4/64 great-grandparents of my great-grandparents) to the 1780s. 
Any of you tried this stuff as well? How successfully?
