how many know their own family histories? [139]
Sounds like everyone has done alot of research. I belong to ancestry.com. How can I go further?? Not knowing polish, any suggestions.
Deb, how far back are you with your history?
first of all , dig out all old documents.. or if you dont have them, ask the family
member that does.. it gives you clues as to which direction to go.
the local church they attended..
the city records ( Birth, Marriage,Death).
on my grandfathers death cert it says Russian Polish. but his sisters said
the town name.
same with my grandmothers sister.
on ancestry you can get cencus, death dates, immigration, old papers , Obits,
WWI drafts.
Make sure the name is spelled correctly, if you suspect a change, ask family or
look for other spellings or off spellings... alot of times on the immigrations
you will see name mistakes..
hope this helps.. :)
