Finding the Original Source Documents – A How To Guide

Join us to learn the in’s and out’s of how to find your document of interest on the Internet (if it is there). This will be the second of two identical sessions, planned separately to accommodate our members around the globe… JRI-Poland veteran researchers, Hadassah Lipsius and Robinn Magid team up for this special Members Only event to show you what to do to search for and hopefully locate images of your family’s original source document once you’ve found it in the JRI-Poland search results. Topics covered will include what to do if it is NOT clickable from the JRI-Poland database including how to find records on the Polish State Archives publicly accessible website, and additional websites that may be available. We will also cover your available options if you discover that your precious document is not available online. The 90 minute session will include approximately 50% presentation time and ample Question & Answer Time and will be recorded for addition to our JRI-Poland Video Library for the exclusive use of our members.

(A JRI-Poland member is someone who donates $54 US specifically for the purpose of Membership and is necessary to support our General Fund. It is separate and distinct from a gift to our specific projects such as our Town Funds or NextGen Fund. All are necessary to our success helping you – but Membership is a relatively new way to support us.)

This session will be presented two times to accommodate our viewers around the globe since we expect a lot of questions. Each session has a separate sign up, yet it is possible to sign up for more than one. If you have any problems or questions, please use the Tawk.to Chat Widget for quick response. (It resembles a cartoon chat bubble with a smile and is located at the bottom right of most screens of our website.)
