WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:

Comparison of vital records in the Austrian partition of Poland with records of Upper Silesia under German Administration

Presenter: Maciej Orzechowski

Maciej Orzechowski will present important facts comparing how records were written in German administered Upper Silesia which had a Polish population, against records in the Austrian Partition of Poland. From the perspective of a genealogist, he will illustrate key similarities, differences, advantages, disadvantages, and cautions to be exercised when creating a family history from these regions.
Maciej is one of only two researchers allowed access to the Przemyśl Archdiocesan Archives, and an expert on the archives in Sanok and elsewhere in Galicia. He has written articles published in Rodziny, presented on PGSA webinars and worked with PGSA members.
