Genealogy / Poland Genealogy Resources [130]

Patry, I just saw your two posts to me now. I apologize for not looking through
the list well enough.

As far as English/French Ancestry. Mother is from Vermont. We hit a brick wall in
trying to locate a Joseph Burt and his wife Phoebe, although we thought we had
located him down in Rhode Island. Supposedly he was a ship's captain, but we have
yet to find that out. I would prefer e-mail to you, but you reqested no e-mail.
My e-mail is posted in profile.

Using a copy of the ship's manifest from Bremen, Germany dated May 23, 1911, I just about managed
to make out where my grandmother from Poland (on my father's side) came from
in Polish Galitia. Rosalia Mlynarzcyk. She comes from Siekierczyn, Luban.

I have located (via masstimes.org)

two churches that were listed. I am not Catholic, so I hesitate to approach the local
Polish church to ask if they would send an letter of enqiry to them to find out if they
have any record of birth or anything else. I believe in cross-referencing, so I am
not sent in a wild goosechase for the wrong person. I have seen from other's experience
that this can tend to be costly as well. Can you give your imput. Thanks

The box of smilies gives me only :) and not the actual face.
I have tried everything to get it to appear. Don't know the trick yet. LOL

I am amazed at the many resources on the web re researching Polish ancestors.
My mother comes from Vermont, and there are no where near the resourses
availble to me regarding her English/French parentage, that there are when researching my father's side which are in Polish Galicia.

Another Resource

If you know the name of the ship your ancestor came to USA on, you can have
a picture of it, and a writeup.

I did some research on my own, but came up with
a brick wall until I went to the following site. I still could not find the ship there.
I e-mailed the owner of the website, and I had my information the next day plus a picture of the ship my grandmother came over on from Bremen, Germany to Ellis Island.

maritimequest.com

The years given for its operation were just 5, but it was enough information to start
pinpointing the time frame I needed.

Yes, Patry, I did as you suggested and it did work. Thanks. Put in Favorite Places
for future reference.
