This presentation from Jewish Records Indexing - Poland will deal with Jewish records and research for two major areas of Poland, which covers the majority of the JRI-Poland online database. It will provide information about Congress Poland narrative records, and Galician columnar records. This session offers an in-depth examination of vital records along with a strategic framework to help researchers in acquiring records to further their research. Close examination of sample birth, marriage, and death records will reveal the information contained in the records, identify the records having the most genealogical value, and discover surprises found in many of these records. With actual images of thousands of Polish Jewish records now available online and linked from JRI-Poland search results, the presentation will also focus on how a search of the JRI-Poland online database can connect a researcher with digital images.
