As far as records, there are several approaches. You could get the passenger manifests from the National Archives in DC or a regional center (see their site on the net for more info)as those usually state the ancestral villages. If you know these already, contact your local family history center run by the Mormons (no they don't proselytize at the FHCs) and they can order microfiche tapes of records from those locales if they have been microfiched. The Polish Genealogical Society of America also has a great web site with lots of info. Just use your browser to look for these sites. Your local library probably has some books on how to start the search. Good luck! Regards, Bonnie Cieslukowski Weissman
