Description:

 Join us for a presentation of truly memorable stories from

the JRI-Poland.org case files that highlight what this incredible database

and website might do for your own research. For 25 years, JRI-Poland has served as

the preferred finding aid for the Jewish records survived in the archives of Poland

today. This vast collection of 6.2 million records from over 550 towns includes

information about towns and families from Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania,

Germany and the former territories of Galicia and Prussia. Through understanding

the contents of the database and how to improve your search results to exploring

preserved Holocaust-related records, this lecture will focus on success that comes out

of genealogical search.
