Polish Origins Website
Hello,
The article below is about the Polish Origins website and take from the February edition of Gen Dobry!

Today, in Catholic Church is the first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday. The 40 days period before Easter did not necessarily mean only sad days in our forefathers’ life. Click here:

Within only four months from starting of our Surnames & Places Databases, you have already added more than 1,000 surnames and almost 600 places:

http://polishorigins.com/places
As editors in PGSA’s Rodziny quarterly aptly noted: “The databases are small now but will become more valuable as users contribute information.”
So, if you know someone who could be interested in researching his or her surname, place or in finding relatives from the old country, please spread the word! We all hope that thanks to growing number of people sharing information about their research, there will be more and more opportunities for researchers and for those looking for their families to take another step forward, to Gen Dobry!, Vol. X, No. 2, February 2009 — 11 overcome brick walls, or maybe even to find distant relatives.
Pozdrowienia z Polski! Greetings from Poland!
Zenon & Team
Editor—This note was sent out to members of PolishOrigin’s forum, not just to me personally. Zenon and his colleagues seem determined to provide more and more useful resources for researchers, including a lot of material in English. If you haven’t stopped by and taken a look, I think you’re missing out on a good deal.

I have added my surnames and place names that I am researching. I highly recommend anyone who is reseraching their Polish genealogy to do the same. It’s free and easy to do.
Best Regards,
