Polish Roots. 2^nd Edition, by Rosemary Chorzempa
Since the publication of the original Polish Roots in 1993, the Internet has made the task of locating Polish ancestors much easier, as more information and images are made available online. There has also been a marked rise in interest in genealogy in Poland, resulting in a great increase in the number of Polish genealogical societies and the amount of helpful information disseminated. The second edition of Polish Roots addresses these developments, with a new Introduction, brand-new chapters, several new maps and charts, and more.
