> Cynthia nice info cynthia... i still consider myself fairly new at this research for my family history. my dads dad side of the family never came to america and im sure to have relatives in poland. my dads mom side came to racine, WI about 1910 and then moved back to poland about 1925 or so. thanks to someone i met online here who i found out im 4th cousins with, i was able to build my family tree a little more, but still not much. i recently just wrote an email to poznan archives asking where i can get my dads birth certificate (born in poznan 1934) and i received a quick reply saying they could not help me and i would need to know the street or parish he was born at, which he really has no clue. researching stuff from poland feels like a dead end for me right now. i have a lot of info of the polish relatives that came to the USA, then moved back (while they were in USA). my next step seems to be going back to LDS to do more research. ive got a subscription to ancestry.com, can access heritagequest.com census' thanks to my library and have been to LDS once. any tips for a newbie like me who feels stuck? thanks!
