Polish Records Translation project
The JGS Toronto Polish Records Translation Project funds and manages the translation of Jewish vital records from Poland. The translation of these vital records is a valuable service, as it helps genealogists use essential information about their ancestors, which is normally available only in the language of its creation. Without translation, many genealogists are unable to read or use these Russian or Polish language records. After translation, the records are available to all researchers, online and free of charge, in collaboration with JRI-Poland.
A link to all available records at JRI-Poland is: https://jri-poland.org/jriplweb.htm
To date, our project has funded the translation of selected records for the following 14 Polish towns or cities, including: Bedzin, Bialobrzeg, Czestochow, Kielce, Kosow Lacki, Lipsko, Lodz, Piaseczno, Plonsk, Przytyk, Radom, Radoszyce, and Sosnowiec.
Charitable donations by Canadians to support this project are eligible for tax receipts acceptable to the Canada Revenue Agency. You may donate here: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/jewish_genealogical_society_of_toronto/
