The Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Boston and the Polish Genealogical Society of Massachusetts recently held their first joint program at the Goodenow Library in Sudbury. The program, “Polish Books of Residents and Other Valuable Polish Resources,” drew a large audience who came from as far away as New Hampshire and Pennsylvania for this special event.

Polish genealogical research experts Julian and Fay Bussgang described the many valuable genealogical resources in Poland beyond vital records, some of which are now available online. For Fay Bussgang’s two-page handout, “Useful Websites and Addresses for Polish Genealogical Research,” click here.

JGSGB’s next program is Galician Portraits: Jews, Gentiles and Emperors, on May 15 at 1:30 p.m. at Temple Emanuel in Newton. The speaker is Dr. Andrew Zalewski. For more information, go to jgsgb.org.
