This website is linked to Ellis island and Ancestry.com website.

Ellis island, Located in New York, is immigration port where many Polish and other
Ethnicity came though.

Steve Morse created Search engines linked to this. you can search first and last
name and or town name in which ancestor came from.

you can do three letter search also for last name . In case of mispelling. Many didnt
read or write Polish , so names have been mispelled .

also three letter searches for town name.
if anyone has any trouble with this. feel free to post

For all who can help out on Genealogy resources for Poland.

Many Americans want to find out more about their familys history. Polish
History (documents) etc can be very frustrating for the Majority because so
many do not speak/read Polish.

If anyone is willing to google some Polish sites that also offer English to those who
want research their ancestors that would be a Excellent guide to helping those
who have trouble locating documents in Poland or even surnames.

Add your links to the sticky posts so that they are easily found for those
researching

Just a humble suggestion Thanks to those who have/do contribute

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.

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.

I am sure that there is someone who can help with the English side, just ask in here
because so many are from the UK they might be able to point you in the right direction
as far as records avail with a surname of course

give it a try. or maybe I can help you on my Ancestry.com, do you have the website?
I have a membership, so i can least look and see what I can find. or email me the
names and dates and I will take a look if you feel more comfortable

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) http://masstimes.org/dotnet/Default.aspx
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

I am so very pleased that I stumbled acrossed this forum! The suggested websites look very promising and I am sure that I will be trying some of them pretty soon.

I am doing an extension family reconstruction including a family tree dating back to the late 1700s. I have already located photos as early as 1920ish. With a little luck I will hopefully be able to find more...but most of my family lost all of their possessions during the wars so we'll see.

I did visit the Ellis Island website as well as ancestry.com and successfully located the manifests with my Great Grandfather and my Great Great Grandfather signatures.

Just wanted to show my appreciation for everyone's willingness to pass on information.

I came across this site recently - maxpages.com/poland/Home

It deals with Polish surnames, and has a ton of links to aid in doing Polish genealogy research.
