Last year Kinga joined us with an overview on several Polish online databases. This year she will concentrate on how to access just one site: Szukaj w archiwach. During this webinar Kinga will provide you with information regarding what she calls the most important platform for Polish genealogy research. She will cover the Polish archival system, type of sources you can find there and how to navigate the site. Remember there is always a Q&A at the end. Also the webinars are recorded so members can re-watch and take time to learn to navigate this very useful site.
Kinga Urbańska is a genealogist, historian, archivist and the founder and co-owner of Your Roots in Poland – the largest genealogical company in Poland. She received a master’s degree in history, archival and historical sources at Pedagogical University of Kraków.
She assisted with uncovering Polish roots in the TV show, Finding Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr, where she had a chance to work on the family research for (among others) Dustin Hoffman, Juliana Margulies, Tea Leoni, Gloria Steinem and Bernie Sanders. Genealogy is her job and passion.
