World is getting crazy about football!

When you see genealogy sites advertise services related to FIFA World Soccer Cup, we think we should not miss this opportunity to say that many years ago your ancestors probably played football/soccer too.

Those picture from the 1930s Shanghai. Russian team “Sokol 1” plays on the Race Course. You can search the “Russians in China” genealogical index for details on those and other emigrees, both related and not related to football.

Need to find who of your relatives played along? Let us know! We can find your football heritage.
