Guide to Chicago and Midwestern Polish-American Genealogy. Second Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780806358666)

This is the second edition of this comprehensive guide to Polish genealogy. Since Polish-Americans (including the author) proliferate in Chicago and the U.S. Midwest, they are the focus; however, much of the advice set forth here will apply to the majority of U.S. residents of Polish Catholic origin, as well as to records in Poland themselves. (Persons of Polish Jewish/Lithuanian/Ruthenian ancestry are not covered in Mr. Kruski's book.) Since Polish immigration to the United States began in earnest following the American Civil War, and was heaviest during the last quarter of the nineteenth and first quarter of the twentieth century, this era is the chronological focal point of the work. This up-to-date, all-inclusive manual is the very thing Polish-American researchers must have to stay abreast of the current state of research in their field.
