The village of Soltin is just north of the larger Stadt and port city, Cammin. Soltin is on the coast of the Camminer Boden and Fritzower See. However, today, it is known as Żółcino.

The drive is well off the beaten path. The rustic road was only paved for the width of two tires individually. There were only a few buildings surrounded by fertile fields. It was the perfect place to watch the sun set and cast long shadows over the fields of grain.

Much to my surprise, a deer stole a peek out of the grasses to investigate our arrival. A stork’s nest also sits perched upon an electric pole.

I founded this website to help others make connections with their genealogy. I've been at my own family history since 2014 and have made significant progress since then. My hope is to one day determine where my family name came from. In the years since I started my genealogy, I've become something of an expert on the resources and history of Pomerania. I'd like to share what I've learned with you to help you on your own journey to discover your heritage. With the right information and enough patience, I believe researchers like us can break down the barriers to our family histories and make more freely available so others can trace their families as well. Let's work together to rebuild the stories of our ancestors!
