RECOMMENDED BOOKS FOR GENEALOGY

Welcome home - Enter into history . . .

The Source : A Guidebook of American Genealogy
by Kory L. Meyerink (Editor), Loretto D. Szucs
Absolutely the best book I own. The bible of genealogy

Polish Parish Records of the Roman Catholic Church, Their Use and Understanding in Genealogical Research This book describes the structure of Polsih names in church records and conversation, how to read the records, Polish/English translations and more. Did you know, if you are looking for Kazmierczak you also have to look for Kazmiercakow, and Smolinski can be Smolinska or Smolinskiego. It all depends on where the name is in a sentence and how it is used. This book explains this. I am continually referring to this book, even when talking to relatives on the phone. Also, extremely helpful if you order films from a FAMILY HISTORY CENTER. This book is currently out of print; but you can try and order it.
I also recommend that you get a small LATIN dictionary, since church records are written in Latin.
