Poland Special Interest Group
Getting Back to Basics

Coordinator: Hazel Boon

VIRTUAL MEETING: Join from Home
Virtual doors open at 7:20 p.m. EDT

According to Wikipedia, “a special interest group (SIG) is a community within a larger organization with a shared interest in advancing a specific area of knowledge, learning or technology where members cooperate to affect or to produce solutions within their particular field, and may communicate, meet, and organize conferences.” My hope is that through this group we can guide each other through research issues we all face.

At our meeting on 20 April I’d like to take a look at the document I’m working on that specifies the surnames and towns In Eastern Europe being researched by our members. If you haven’t yet submitted that information to me, please do so by 26 March. There are also some questions/issues that have been submitted to me by members. I will send them out, along with any other questions/issues I receive, to those who register for this meeting. Don’t be shy. We are all here to help each other learn about our ancestors/family and how they lived their lives. Your questions, brick walls or research stories may help other attendees.

In order to ensure that we can all benefit, we are limiting these Poland SIG meetings to JGST members only.
I’m looking forward to meeting with you on Thursday evening, 20 April at 7:30 p.m.
