It put my 'place of origin' in the middle of a forest about 15 miles east of Bremerhaven in Lower Saxony, Germany. While in the same part of the world and even the same country...this is about 200 miles W of me and my father's birthplace and about 200 miles NW of my mother's birthplace. It's somewhat curious as none of my known ancestors (I know most of it about 4-5 generations back) were born that far west in Germany as my family is from the Baltic region on my father's side and the mountains not too far from the Czech border on the mother's side.
