Advancing Your Polish Genealogy: 300 Years of Records
July 20, 2015 By
Are you ready to advance your research and expand your knowledge of resources in Poland?
Join Ceil Wendt Jensen, Professional Genealogist, as she presents practical examples and suggestions on how to use records, databases, and archives. She dispels the myth that records were destroyed during the World Wars and that language barriers make Polish research difficult. Both traditional and digital research techniques are presented. Common research questions are answered and suggestions are offered to help novice and advanced researchers find ancestors in North America and Poland.
