Finding Your Polish Roots Problems, Challenges, Solutions A Presentation by Peter Obst
Mr. Peter J. Obst presented "Finding Your Polish Roots" to the Polish Arts Club membership at a recent monthly meeting. Mr. Obst presented some of the problems, challenges and soulutions to tracing your Polish ancestry. You can start at home looking through documents such as birth, batismal, marriage and death certificates, letters, passports, citizenship papers and military records. There are many public records you can search such as the US census, naturalization papers, Social Security applications, draft registrations, passenger lists, and other US records. Mr. Obst's presentation is provided here with his permission in both MS Power Point and Adobe PDF formats. I have also taken some of the links from the presentation and listed them below.
