Description
This new book will inspire both beginning genealogists and those more experienced who seek to find their ancestors who immigrated from Europe. The ultimate goal is to prepare the reader to travel to their ancestral homelands and hopefully uncover living family members.
The author guides the readers in the first chapters through Genealogy 101 in the United States records before jumping over the pond to the many and varied records available in Europe. Many of these records are online and can be interpreted with free, easily accessible guides. This easy to use book is a comprehensive resource filled with suggestions the author used to travel back to her Polish and Swedish roots.
Gawell's journey is similar to what viewers see on the genealogy shows on TV, but she did her own research. She refers to herself as the "document poor" descendant who inherited only a few names and dates, yet managed to unearth her immigrant ancestors' past as far back as 1720 in Poland. Filled with practical advise, Gawell explains the process used to find her "lost relatives" and how she traveled to meet them during three "dream trips of a lifetime".
For those trying to find their Polish roots,Travel Back to Your Polish Roots will help you with the slightly more challenging endeavor of searching in Poland. Don’t worry if you know very little about your ancestors, can’t speak your ancestor’s language, or are the “document poor” descendant. That’s exactly where Donna was in 2012 when she started this journey!
