And now we are off to Austria! Austria, a landlocked nation, is at the crossroads of Europe. It shares borders with the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. As a result of wars and political realignments, the boundaries of Austria have changed many times. German is the official language.

Searching for German-speaking ancestors? Changing borders, missing records, reading German script, and then there is the language barrier. Do any of these problems sound familiar?
