Poland Genealogy resources

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

One of the largest compilations of helpful sites that I've ever seen is
Cyndi's List,

I forgot to add that once you get to the main page, scroll down to the Poland Category for Polish information.... naturally!!!

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)
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 will email ya in the morning

its a bit late, I can check out some other stuff on my ancestry.com

sorry, but the pillow is calling me LOL zzzzzzzz

I was trying to find anything i could on my family's geneology.... My maiden name is Sarlitto and my Grandfather came here from Poland, I know the name was changed to Sarlitto from something else, (something with SZ.......SKI) is there anyone who might know anything about that last name?

Jess

my suggestion to you is to see if you can ask family members ( which is what I did)
if there was a name change. and ask for correct spelling.

I looked on steve morse to kinda get a idea, and without knowing some type of
spelling or mispelling, were basically looking for a needle in haystack.

Let me know if you find out, I will check on ancestry for some documents. :)

Jess

My name is Tom Sarlitto, I would imagine we are related, somewhere on the Sarlitto food chain. My dad's name is George Jr., my grandfather is George Sr.

I am familiar with the story of the Sarlitto name being changed, however, I would have to ask my sister exactly how and what it was changed from. The Sarlitto name was changed for sure. If you would like you may email me at tsarlitto@gmail.com.

Jess,
I have the information you need. I will have to do a little digging for it in my files. I have them packed away. Who is your grandfather (name)? I am Tom's sister (he previously replied to you). I may have some pics as well that I can share.

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.

um yes i dont live in the US...all these sites are US my family came to Canada not US

worldvitalrecords.com

Type in a name and it brings up many resources that will help you locate free
and membership sites that contain the surnames you are researching from all
over the world ...

Best of luck :)
