A great link for finding Polish towns and villages is http://nowamapa.szukacz.pl/ You can also use a wild card i.e. war* It will find all towns starting with war.

Everyone should at least look at the Polish Genealogical Society of America website www.pgsa.org. They have an annual conference near Chicago in the Fall. Plus there are regional chapters as well. I am a member and its a great organization.

Also check out a new site www.moikrewni.pl on the bottom of this Polish website you can go to another page called Mapa Nazwisk (a surname mapping search engine) type in your surname, making sure that if diacritical marks are needed then they must be applied. Otherwise use their alphbet on the bottom of that page and search alphabetically. Each surname may have a masculine and feminine version and different possibilities with diacritical marks. but if you have that down, the maps are pretty cool and when you go over each potential location within Poland it provides a call-out of the area that you are over.

sirzeke: Thank you for posting this web site for the Ellis Island records. The stevemoris.org helped find my grand father that came from Poland in 1912 at the age of 18. Glad to hear it, plus if you do a town search instead it will go thru alot of names and you can find the misspelled family members that came over to see your grandfather.. :)

I had posted this website to another inquiry, but Patrycja thought it might be useful for other members.
I found out about it at the UPGSA conference in April, and it was useful in helping to understand the records I was finding in Russian.

esisnet.com/~jackbowmanstc/russian1.htm

It will give you a Format for Russian Polish Birth, Marriage, and Death records. It will also do the same for Napoleonic records. (check the options at the bottom of the page)
While it will not translate your record, it will give you an idea of the location on the record of dates, names and relationship.

Hi yes may be able to help you a little about your polish relative being part of British army . Here goes the Polish 1st Armoured Division created in Feb 1942 at Duns Scotland commanded by General Stanislaw Maezek . nicknamed the black division and Polish black brigade. They then fought for Britain mainly on the front line , alot of them went to France to fight , There they joined up with Canadian army . After the war because of what part of Poland they came from communist side they could not return to Poland as fear of their lives even though they were heros in UK at home they outcast so the disision was made to allow over 45000 Poles to remane in Uk also they had choice to live in Canada because merged with Canadians in combat . This resulted in huge resettlement corps in Uk 1948 accross the country there were camps for the Poles to settle in Uk and have a life here . Thats most proberly happend to your gramps . put in search engine Polish Resettlement Act 1947 this may help Anita

I am trying to research my mother's roots from Poland. My mother's maiden name was Antonia Tosca Puchalski from Warsaw, Poland. Her parents were Richard Puchalski and Dr. Irena Puchalska (maiden name was Sarschitzka). My mother was born March 1, 1923 at her family's estate outside of Warsaw, but baptised in Warsaw at St Stanislaw. Her family was from Warsaw.

When I first traveled to Warsaw in the summer of 1971, most official records were destroyed from the war, and I was not able to obtain a birth certificate. Though her immediate family were killed during the war, and some of her Uncles escaped prior to the war and eventually immigrated to Austrialia from what my mother told me. She was arrested prior to the Uprising in 1944 and sent to a German Labor Camp.

Since my mother's death, I have been searching. Any help would be helpful. I didn't have the time nor the understanding of the language in 1971 while in Warsaw to call the listings of the family name of Puchalski in the phone book.

Attached is the marriage certificate of my mother and father that contain the spelling of the family names of her father and mother.

wow, respect to you mr carson.

also I would like to show you the above sites.. some might be hepful..
the problem with your request is there isnt really someone on this site who does researching.. Polonius knows of some resources or you can do some researching yourself ( ancestry.com) is a huge site and can be helpful in finding some documents here that will give more insight on your family and the name.

you know what town/city so thats a plus.. but you have to do the footwork..
you need to find her fathers name as well as the mothers maiden name too and siblings.

have you visited the ellis island website or steve morse yet?
have you checked baptismals? cencus and death records ?

you want to get a definate on the name of the town so you can get these records. I had descrepancies so I looked up both ..

good luck to you.. I think visiting your local history center will also help :)

Were exactly in Poland would you look for records. I am working on my whole families Geneology, and my polish side is one of the toughest to decipher. I'm not to sure exactly were the originated before immigration. I know the last name was Seliga when they arrived. I believe it was Szeliga when they were in Poland. I know my great grandfather Wojciech Seliga or Szelisga oringinated somewhere in Pole-Austria but thats about as far as I have gotten. I have everyone from the US but would love to dig deep to find out my real roots. If anyone can help me out here this would be great.

I'm not to sure exactly were the originated before immigration. I know the last name was Seliga when they arrived.

I found these

Szeliga, Wojaech Batulon 39 1864 1903
254 Szeliga, Wojcich Rotubow 23 1877 1900
255 Szeliga, Wojciech W.Wadowska 32 1875 1907
256 Szeliga, Wojciech Wisniowa, Galicy 16 1893 1909
257 Szeliga, Wojeick Charchow, Russia 29 1883 1912
258 Szeliga, Wojtek Rogozsnica 19 1883 1902

where did you get the Seliga? from a ship record? ultimately a town name has to be
found.. even though this name was first mentioned in 1366? or 1386 were the two
dates for coat of arms. our families belong to same coat of arms.

Woiciech Seliga Aug 10, 1909 Rotterdam, Holland <~if your talking about this one from
ellis island, well, I checked the manifests and it shows a whole different two people travelling with last name b something not at all the same person as suggested on the
manifests.

do you know what date ) possible he was born? ( woj) and if one of these are possibly
him?
