I solved my translation problems by changing my home page to Google. I then added the tool bar which one of the options is a word translator. Once the tool bar was setup I went back to my old home page and the Google tool bar with the translator is still at the top of the page. I have used it on Polish, German and French. Sometimes the words translate kind of funny like on a French site yesterday instead of saying "he died." it said "he died out." But it is better than nothing.

I received a letter from Ancestry.com saying that they had an overwhelming response to their advertisement. That's probably why you are having trouble.

Saw this article earlier today; am only posting part. I know it will be of interest to all. Pat WASHINGTON - For every generation in this country there has been a war. And with wars come millions of records that can shed light on family history, detailing everything from the color of soldiers' eyes to what their neighbors may have said about them. On Thursday, Ancestry.com unveils more than 90 million U.S. war records from the first English settlement at Jamestown in 1607 through the Vietnam War's end in 1975. The site also has the names of 3.5 million U.S. soldiers killed in action, including 2,000 who died in Iraq. "The history of our families is intertwined with the history of our country," Tim Sullivan, chief executive of Ancestry.com, said in a telephone interview. "Almost every family has a family member or a loved one that has served their country in the military." The records, which can be accessed free until the anniversary of D-Day on June 6, came from the National Archives and Records Administration and include 37 million images, draft registration cards from both world wars, military yearbooks, prisoner-of-war records from four wars, unit rosters from the Marine Corps from 1893 through 1958, and Civil War pension records, among others. The popularity of genealogy in the U.S. has increased steadily alongside the Internet's growth. Specialized search engines on sites like Ancestry.com, Genealogy.com and FamilySearch.com, along with general search portals like Yahoo Inc. and Google Inc., have helped fuel interest.

Just a heads up: Familysearch.org will be adding new records to its database shortly. A very large collection of military records are to be added soon. I have been told at our local family history branch that more complete US Census will also be added. If you go to the home page of family search and click on the information you will find more information. regards, Richard

Greetings; I need some help working out a some polish birth certificates. I have finally worked out the words, but I was wondering if someone might know the official structure of a certificate. There are extra names on the certificates but I cant work out if they are witnesses or godparents. This is an example; Baptism Certificate. 27 June/ 6 July 1873. Father - Fryderyk Schweinberger living in Kapsukas - 42 Mother - Wilhehimina nee Levickiz living in Kapsukas - 30 Son - Fryderyk, born in Kapsukas. 22 June/4 July 1873 - Maria Szchilis - 45 - Living in Kapsukas - August Schweinberger - 40 Living in Kapsukas - August Schweinberger : Maryaic Levickaz Question One(1) - I have been informed that the 27 June/ 6 July date break up is Birth date over Baptism date. Which one do I use for the birth/baptism date? As you can see, the date at the top and the date next to the child is different. Question Two(2) - There are 4 names at the bottom of the certificate. Two sets of names have a location, age or occupation next to them. While the names at the very bottom have no such detail, I would assume that they are broken up into Witness & Godparents but I dont know which. What significance are these names? I have about 10 certificates at the moment ranging in dates from 1869 to 1878. They are all set out in the same format, so if I work out the arrangement, it could solve many of my problems. I hope someone can help Regards, jon.

Had to share this with you. Have been looking for my family in Poland for the last 18 months, with the help of PBS. I have found out a lot of background info. I have just had a phone conversation with my step-nephew who has been traced to Walbryzh. We are going to meet later this summer. He has been trying to trace us too. Tina thanks especially for all your help and to everyone else who has helped along the way. Good luck to everyone in their search. Teresa

Teresa, Congratulations. How are you doing with the language? Does your step-nephew speak English or do you speak Polish? It will be wonderful for you both to meet each other. It is great to hear a success story. Noreen Had to share this with you. Have been looking for my family in Poland for the last 18 months, with the help of PBS.

Jon, I assume that these are Napoleonic format certificates. If so, a good treatment of the format is available at > http://www3.vistatech.net/~jack/poltrans.htm You have been misinformed about the dates. Take a look at > http://www.jewishgen.org/infofiles/Poland/Questions.htm#q7 which explains the nature of the two dates. The birth day is 22 June AND 4 July. The baptismal date is 27 June AND 6 July (perhaps you meant 9 July). It appears that you have various spelling errors. Those need to be fixed as well.

In response to your kind suggestions regarding my GFather's leaving Poland. All good questions. Yes, he was Polish of the Jewish faith. He was in Manitoba, All of my father's siblings were all born in Manitoba. They came to the US in 1921. I found them in the Canadian Census in 1901, but can't find them after that, but do know that all of the kids were born there. Have found most of their B- certificates. They show up again in California in 1930 Census and remained their until death and are buried in Oakland, CA. Also don't know where he was born, but the name Turkieltaub was found in Plock, Sierpc, Siedlce, common in Radz, Chel, Lubin and Wloclawek. Other spellings are Tarkieltaub, Terkieltaub, Terkieltop, Turkientaub. Turkientaub was also found in Warsaw. That is about as far as I can get, as least at the moment Date: Sun, 20 May 2007 18:47:45 -0600 From: jim gambrel <jgambrel@shaw.ca> Subject: Re: [PBS] Leaving Galicia etc. To: polandbordersurnames@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <000301c79b41$a5e66db0$63d74e18@Gambrels> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Leah - My husband's grandparents applied for some farmland. We searched for the land patent, on line, and found out when it had been applied for, and then searched ship arrivals for that time. Have you checked the 1901 census? Did your grandparents stay in Winnipeg? Or did they farm? If they farmed, what area were they in? Several books have been written about immigrants in Manitoba. One is "Spruce, Swamp and Stone" by Michael Ewanchuk. It is about the area north of Winnipeg near Gimli. The Canadian Archives would have a record of farmers. The site is online. And was your grandfather Polish? Or did he come from a part of Galicia that once belonged to Poland? If you have only searched for Roman Catholic, try Greek Catholic. My husband's grandparents came from Kopyczency, which at one time was Polish. But they were married in the Greek Catholic church in Kopyczency. Try the ships lists from Liverpool to Montreal or Quebec City. Could the surname have been spelled various ways? Ellis Island could sometimes make a new name out of an old one. Check the registry of Immigrants that was taken when WW2 began. It could perhaps have the place of birth. Check the Winnipeg archives for a certificate of death that might give you information. Muriel
