I am looking for information about my paternal grandparents and great grandparents and any siblings and children of these people I only became interested in genealogy only 2 years ago. As only 1 of 2 grandchildren left, I had no information about them although I did know my father's parent's names. Additionally, name changes have made it especially difficult, Most, if not all, of the names came from my grandparents' marriage registration found in JRI Poland
Looking for information related to paternal grandparents, great grandparents, and their children. Most of the names come from my grandparents' marriage registration and discovered through a beginning Geneology course from JewishGen with Nancy Holden.
