"Polish Roots is printed in two Parts; part 1 (45 pages) offers basic information and advises which records in the United States are likely to produce the best results for Polish-American research, while part 2 (190 pages) moves the researcher across the ocean to resources available in Poland. The book provides a good compilation of information sources in the United States and Poland, but it is especially helpful in providing a path to access people and information in Poland. It is also helpful in interpreting and understanding genealogical records that you might retrieve from Poland.
The main shortcoming of Polish Roots is that it has not been updated since it was first published 19 years ago in 1993. The book contains no reference to the vast genealogical resources available through the internet. We have been researching our Polish ancestry for the last 2 years and have found many useful sources of genealogical information on the internet. Through various internet websites we have also found about a dozen folks in both the United States and Poland who share our family research interest with whom we exchange regular email correspondence. Our research and contacts through the internet have been the most fruitful part of journey to discover our family history!
Overall, Polish Roots is a good starting point for beginning your journey to discover your Polish family history, but do not expect this book to provide the complete map for your journey."

- Polish Roots is printed in two Parts; part 1 (45 pages) offers basic information and advises which records in the United States are likely to produce the best results for Polish-American research, while part 2 (190 pages) moves the researcher across the ocean to resources available in Poland. The book provides a good compilation of information sources in the United States and Poland, but it is especially helpful in providing a path to access people and information in Poland. It is also helpful in interpreting and understanding genealogical records that you might retrieve from Poland.
The main shortcoming of Polish Roots is that it has not been updated since it was first published 19 years ago in 1993.

Overall, Polish Roots is a good starting point for beginning your journey to discover your Polish family history, but do not expect this book to provide the complete map for your journey. - This is a great starting point for those just beginning to understand Polish ancestry. I would have to say now with ancestry.com & more ancestry records being added online, you can do more research online, than by paper and mail, but with Polish names it is exhaustive to cross reference families to ensure you have the correct family with names spelled differently in every record. I have found a Posen database where once the family came to America they referred to their 'hometown' as Posen, but this is technically a very large district in Poland, which they are now putting records online to research that if you do find you can order. Her book is a great research tool & resource in understanding some of the basics for our unique Polish genealogy!
- Covers almost everything you would ever need to know about delving into Polish genealogy, helping you understand the history, as well as geographic and ethnic divides that may be stumbling blocks in your research. Though it does feel a bit dated with the advent of so much genealogy research being done online these days, it's still an excellent resource.
- The summary of the numerous geographic/political rearrangements of Poland is quite useful. The listing of changes in place names names which accompanied the partitioning events is especially helpful.
- Helpful thumbnail regional history of Poland, and good getting-started pointers to institutional resources.
- excellent!
- Great book to help you understand your Polish heritage
- If you are interested in developing your Polish family tree, this book is a great resource. It's also a great read because it is filled with a lot of interesting historical & geographical information.
