"Finding Your Polish Ancestors"
 
Based upon an on-line genealogy course created by Kathleen LaBudie-Szakall and Jan Zaleski, the lecture provides an overview of American and Canadian resources and strategies that are essential to conducting successful Polish research.  Emphasis is placed on Canadian and American web resources that might provide clues to ancestral villages.  For researchers lucky enough to discover that microfilm copies of records for their ancestors are available, an overview of translation resources and strategies are discussed, especially for researchers who are not fluent in foreign languages.

"Utilizing Records of Border Crossings from Canada into the U.S., 1895-1954, to Further Your Research"
 
There are over 1500 reels of 16mm microfilm containing index cards that document hundreds of thousands of people who crossed into the U.S. from Canada between 1895 and 1954, available on-line through Ancestry.com or on microfilm through Family History Centers.  The vast majority of the cards contain ancestral villages and fairly specific information on their arrival in the U.S. or Canada prior to crossing the border.  Appeals to all ethnic researchers.
