Does anyone know of a good way to trace a surname as it existed in a nation which no longer exist? I've found many references, like familysearch.com, that specialize in doing this sort of research for modern nation; but none for historical ones. My maternal ancestory goes back to a Duke in Prussia, but I'm try to find out the in-between details - like the time/location of immigration to the US. Unfortunately the last of that bloodline (Spees, aka Spiece) related to me pasted away 10 years ago so I can't get more info directly.
