Polish Roots is printed in two Parts; part 1 (45 pages) offers basic information and advises which records in the United States are likely to produce the best results for Polish-American research, while part 2 (190 pages) moves the researcher across the ocean to resources available in Poland. The book provides a good compilation of information sources in the United States and Poland, but it is especially helpful in providing a path to access people and information in Poland. It is also helpful in interpreting and understanding genealogical records that you might retrieve from Poland.
The main shortcoming of Polish Roots is that it has not been updated since it was first published 19 years ago in 1993. The book contains no reference to the vast genealogical resources available through the internet. We have been researching our Polish ancestry for the last 2 years and have found many useful sources of genealogical information on the internet. Through various internet websites we have also found about a dozen folks in both the United States and Poland who share our family research interest with whom we exchange regular email correspondence. Our research and contacts through the internet have been the most fruitful part of journey to discover our family history!
Overall, Polish Roots is a good starting point for beginning your journey to discover your Polish family history, but do not expect this book to provide the complete map for your journey.
