in both the United States and in Poland. Ceil Jensen, Certified Genealogist, will dispel myths that records were destroyed during
the World Wars and that language barriers make research difficult. She will present practical examples and suggestions on how to use
records, databases and archives to start or advance your Polish genealogy research.
