The Northeast Indiana Jewish Genealogy Society is excited to welcome researcher, Jakub Czuprynski, for a free virtual program on Sunday, February 9th.

SEEKING POLISH ANCESTORS

2:00 pm (EST) – Jewish Genealogy Gems Hidden in the Polish Archives

Jakub Czuprynski will present strategies for those individuals with Polish roots who would like to expand their searches to less popular archival resources that can be found in the Polish State Archives. In this lecture, guidelines on how to search for additional family information not covered in the obvious sources will be discussed. Additionally, participants will become familiar with the various alternative sources for genealogy research.

Jakub is a researcher, guide and travel journalist who specializes in the family history of Polish Jews. For about 15 years he has been running his own business carrying out professional genealogical research and organizing heritage tours in Poland. Mr. Czuprynski collaborates with Jewish Record Indexing, Jewish Culture Festival (Krakow), and the Jewish Community Centre in Krakow where he organizes meetings and lectures on genealogy. He is particularly interested in attempts to use lesser-known historical sources to research the histories of Jewish families from Galicia.
