Zoom information will be sent out midweek, the WEEK BEFORE THE MEETING, to JGSMD members. Jewish Records Indexing – Poland is now 24 years old. It now contains about 6.2 million entries for 600 cities and towns in today’s Poland and sections of Ukraine, Belarus, and Lithuania that were formerly part of Poland.
This session will deal with Jewish records and research in the four historical areas of Poland – Congress Poland, Galicia, Grodno Gubernia (Pale of Settlement), and Prussian Poland. Participants will learn how to find out what records exist for your town. Sample birth, marriage, death, and census type records will be examined revealing the information contained in the records and identifying the records having the most genealogical value. And, JRI-Poland’s database search functionality will be demonstrated.
