Genealogist and author Jason Kruski will give you the tools that you need in order to take your family tree backwards in time in Poland to learn more about the lives of your ancestors. He will discuss a wide variety of records that are available for research, including the internet databases and tools that are out there for use.  Genealogy in Poland can be challenging, but thanks to all of the recent advances in the field, it has never been easier.

He is a sixth generation Chicagoan and has conducted extensive research using a wide variety of sources to build his family tree. He speaks about topics in genealogy today including genetic genealogy and DNA research, indexing projects, beginning/intermediate/advanced Polish American genealogical research, and new technological advances in the field of genealogy.
