During the presentation, I will answer questions which may appear at the beginning of your genealogical research, e.g. How to collect and organize genealogical information? Do I have to go to Poland to start my research? Can I find any documents related to my family on the Internet? Am I able to search in Polish state archives without knowing Polish? What should I write to the state archives to get the information I am looking for? How to find the correct name of the hometown of my ancestors? Where to look for information about this place? Can I find information about the tombstones of my ancestors and where to look for it? Where and how to find contact with the local Jewish communities in Poland?
