   It provided great information for those doing Polish research.\n\nIt was fabulous. Enjoyed it. Still so much to learn from 1 another.\n\nIt was really good however not having much experience with speaking/listening to or even reading Polish it was hard to understand for me.\n\nJust starting research on the Polish part of my spouse's family and this was EXCELLENT information.\n\nKinga did a wonderful job! I even bought your membership\n\nKinga did an amazing job with today's webinar. I got a bunch of new resources to use in my Polish research.\n\nKinga did an outstanding job of giving us many Polish databases to explore to find our relatives.

I would love a webinar more about the partitioning era and how to locate those earlier records.\n\nKinga provided much info that will greatly help in researching my Polish ancestors. Bring her back again !\n\nkinga Urbanska covered lots of databases in Poland that I was not even aware of their existence.\n\nKinga was amazing! She presented so much information that really inspires me to dig! Thank you!!\n\nKinga was clear, specific and picked useful websites.\n\nKinga was fantastic and very brave to do a presentaton in a different language than her native one. She did a great job of it.\n\nKinga went a bit fast, but she covered so much information about the sites available, it was worth. This was an excellent webinar!\n\nKinga's presentation was excellent. I had no idea that there were so many Polish databases available. The history of the partition was especially interesting. \n\nKinga's presentation was great. I don't think I could have done as good of a job as she did if I tried to present information in Polish. Thanks Kinga.\n\nKings was excellent. I took lots of notes. Very informative!\n\nLearned a lot!\n\nLearned a lot. Maybe my brick walls will come down on some research. I never knew there was so many web sites available with online records. Now, need to find time to continue research.\n\nlearned so much! hope to break down my brick walls ...\n\nLots and lots of very good info!\n\nLots of good links to search Polish records - and how to do it!\n\nLots of great info. A little overwhelming for someone who is a somewhat of a newbie to Polish research.\n\nLots of Great information\n\nLots of info to cover in short time. I have been doing Polish research for over 30 years, but she had a couple resources I did not know of.....the military one and the one Genealogy in Archived... both of which may be useful to me.\n\nLots of info!

Thanks so much.\n\nOutstanding information, expertly presented in organized, concise fashion. 'Looking forward to seeing it again to recapture all the applicable information. Thank you!\n\nOutstanding introduction to doing Polish genealogy from the United States. If only I'd been able to watch this webinar back in the late 1980s, when I began trying to identify the family of my Polish grandmother, whose maiden surname was unknown to her descendants! The information in this webinar would have saved me months of work climbing the very steep learning curve that beginning Polish research involved back then. BTW, I did succeed in identifying her family, their home village, and ancestors.\n\nOutstanding presentation by Kinga Urbanska. Webinar was very well run by the manager. Thank you so much!!!!!!\n\nOutstanding presentation. Bring her back!!\n\nOverall, it was quite good. However, it mainly was a list of websites and some were complicated. I was hoping she could have showed us how to use them. She started with one example which was terrific. But then we didn't get that same treatment as the webinar progressed.

   great fun\n\nGreat info!\n\nGreat info!\n\nGreat information on various sites to search !!\n\nGreat information! Thank you!\n\ngreat information. Thank you.\n\nGreat information. Well presented! Thanks!\n\ngreat job Kinga, Extremely helpful!!\n\nGreat presentation! So many sources I didn't know about. I'm excited to dig in!\n\nGreat presentation. I liked that she did the walk through on finding a relative. Looks like a lot of wonderful resources in the syllabus.\n\nGreat presentation. Kings obviously knows her Polish resources. Can't wait to try them all!\n\nGreat seminar\n\nThe fact that she had words with translations was amazing. Hopefully one of her many recommended websites can get me into deeper research. Please have her back for another webinar. You might want to divide future webinars into time periods, or divide them into geographical regions. My family travelled East when they left that area centuries ago, for example.\n\nGreat webinar. I learned so much and am eager to try some of the newly learned databases. The speaker's slides were well organized and clear.\n\ngreat, thanks\n\nHappy to have the handout and list of Databases. Very interesting, i have a lot of work to do.\n\nHave her back again, so much good information on Poland,\n\nHave her back, show examples in Polish and covert to English.\n\nI am aware of most of the websites cited, but appreciated hearing of others sites, like Pomoran and Kashube.\n\nI am so glad I was able to attend this webinar. I see many of my brick walls crumbling. Thank you so much for all the links & info. Both sides of my family were from Poland. \n\nPlease book Kinga again, she was a big help. Thanks Kinga.\n\nI appreciated the overview of the online databases and portals in Poland and learned about some new ones. I give presentations for the Society for German Genealogy in Eastern Europe and am familiar with many of them. My ancestors lived in Poland from before 1800 - WWII and moved from Prussia to Lubelskie and Volhynia, so I am familiar with researching records in German, Latin, Polish and Russian. Thank you for an excellent overview.\n\nI appreciated the website links and hands-on example. It would be helpful to know if one has to type in the POLISH with diacrylics in each of the search engines. THANKS!\n\nI cant wait to get on-line to search these sites as I've visited the archives in Poland and spent many hours getting the little I have now. I look forward to getting more information while staying at home-again my ancestry trail trip to Poland was cancelled in 2020, and probably 2021. I so miss those travels. Thank you so much.\n\nI got a lot of good information and am anxious to give it a try.\n\nI got so much information out of this webinar. I can't wait to begin exploring. The presenter did a nice job giving a thorough overview. \n\nI had used 2-3 of the databases that Kinga discussed but always need a refresher. But the other databases I had not heard about so it was a fantastic webinar. Kinga is very knowledgeable.\n\nI learned a lot from this webinar. Thank you so much Kinga for all the useful information!\n\nI really love it when people can teach us how to use databases of interest from local communities. It would have taken me forever to find out all those helpful resources, let alone figure out how to use them. I also really appreciate that Kinga made the point multiple times to remind us to pay attention to the years of partition. I hope we can have Kinga back another time because I'd love to hear more about how to research the different religious and ethnic communities that made up Polish history.\n\nI thought Kinga was extremely well-prepared and presented all of her information in a logical and thoughtful manner. Her examples of how each website presented search results showed good fore-thought. I found the webinar FULL of information which was presented in an organized manner. She was easy to understand as was the information she presented. I was never bored - well done for an hour of facts! A really excellent webinar!\n\nI thought that Kinga presented lots of very practical information, that was easily understood.\n\nI was amazed to learn about the variety of databases that are available.\n\nI would like more. I'm especially interessted in Prussian records and then back from there. Today was great - thank you!\n\nThanks\n\nI'm inspired, again, to try finding my grandmother's birth record. Thank you!\n\nI'm still a beginner in Polish research, so this was a little over my head. I appreciated all of the links and look forward to exploring them.\n\nincredible amount of information\n\nIncredible! Thank you so much! So rare to have this wonderful learning opportunity!!! \n\nInformation was excellent. \n\nInformative, well-presented and loads of resources given\n\nInteresting, but now realize not my ancestral connection.
