You will find a few gravesites designated PC1—these are included because the author had personally researched these particular families. Utmost care has been taken to translate into the English language all pertinent information which appeared on any memorial. The author has also taken the liberty of including the maiden names of most wives as she found them recorded in the marriage records at the county courthouse in South Bend, Indiana. This, she hopes, will be helpful to anyone attempting to complete their family research. Gravesites with no designated section were obtained from other sources; the lack of a designated section does not indicate they are interred in the Old Section. One should contact the St. Joseph Undertaker and Cemetery Association at 824 S. Mayflower Road, South Bend, Indiana 46619 for exact locations.

The story begins when the author escapes from the ghetto in a small town in Poland at the eve of its liquidation in 1942. As she hides under an assumed identity among the Poles, she lives in constant fear of being denounced to the Nazis and sentenced to die. She encounters treason, a Gestapo investigation, the loss of her documents and many other terrible situations in which her life trembles in the balance. Two Polish women, moved by her tragic situation, allow her to stay in their home, although they are terrified by the death penalty awaiting them for hiding a Jew. The author succeeds in saving herself thanks to miraculous coincidences and her determination, courage and ingenuity to avert mortal danger. She sees her liberation from the Nazis in 1945.

Since then, there have been economic links that led western merchants-Scots included-to settle in the main seaports of Eastern Europe, such as Danzig. The main period of Scottish settlement in Eastern Europe occurred from 1560 to 1650, when Scottish, German, Dutch, and Jewish entrepreneurs were lured to the Baltic by the promise of economic opportunity. According to one authority, by the 1640s as many as 30,000 Scots were resident in Poland alone. After 1650, Eastern Europe waned as a beacon for Scottish immigration, and some Scots returned to their Scottish homeland. The majority, however, became integrated into their adopted Baltic societies. In due course, many of their descendants would immigrate to America.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor Part Three in this series, David Dobson examined scores of Scottish primary and secondary sources before producing a list of 1,000 additional Scots who settled in the Baltic (2,500 were identified in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/102-9365\" title=\"Scots in Poland, Russia, and the Baltic States, 1550-1850 Part 1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePart One\u003c\/a\u003e, and 2,000 more were identified in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/102-9977\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Scots in Poland, Russia, and the Baltic States, 1550-1850 Part 2\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ePart Two\u003c\/a\u003e).

In some cases you may also find a reference to the individual's place of origin in Scotland, occupation, relationships to other persons named (i.e., parent, spouse, offspring), membership in a fraternal organization, etc. A significant feature of Part Three is the inclusion of a list of the vessels, their captains, and the routes taken between Scottish ports and the Baltic during the years this volume covers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Dobson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2019, paper, 106 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806358895\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-8707\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GPC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30318474526838,"sku":"102-8707","price":21.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-8707.png?v=1745006057"},{"product_id":"102-8316","title":"A Guide to Chicago and Midwestern Polish-American Genealogy, second edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the second edition of this comprehensive guide to Polish genealogy. Since Polish-Americans (including the author) proliferate in Chicago and the U.S. Midwest, they are the focus; however, much of the advice set forth here will apply to the majority of U.S. residents of Polish Catholic origin, as well as to records in Poland themselves. (Persons of Polish-Jewish\/Lithuanian\/Ruthenian ancestry are not covered in Mr. Kruski's book.) Since Polish immigration to the United States began in earnest following the American Civil War, and was heaviest during the last quarter of the nineteenth and first quarter of the twentieth century, this era is the chronological focal point of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMr. Kruski's approach is to blend traditional genealogical methods with the most contemporary tools available to the genealogist, all the while demonstrating their application for Polish-Americans. Like most how-to books, this one stresses the importance of reviewing existing family records and speaking with elderly relatives. It also devotes separate chapters to Polish U.S. census records; birth, marriage, and death records in Chicago's Cook County; immigration and naturalization records; military records; and cemetery and other death records. The revised chapter on Polish databases, for example, explains a wide variety of databases from Poland that have recently become available to Polish-American genealogists including \u003ci\u003eSzukaj Archiwach,\u003c\/i\u003e the website of the Polish State Archive system; \u003ci\u003eGenealogia w Archiwach,\u003c\/i\u003e the website of the State Archive system of Torun; and \u003ci\u003eGeneteka\u003c\/i\u003e, the website of genealogist volunteers who transcribe parish records. All of these databases and more can assist in figuring out where exactly in Poland one's ancestry lies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7, \"Chicago and Midwestern Records and Resources,\" discusses documents unique to the author's geographical area, such as Chicago voter registration records, local property records, coroners' inquest files, Indiana Polish cemeteries, the 1894 state-conducted census of Michigan, and Wisconsin Polish newspaper records. Still other chapters explain how to determine an ancestor's Polish village of origin, the relative unimportance of being fluent in Polish when doing genealogical research, church and vital records in Poland, and how to find living Polish relatives. Each chapter contains references to key websites and\/or Internet searching techniques, and the author has added an appendix on Polish Internet genealogy.

It has also been host over the centuries to Balkan and Carpathian Slavs, Jews, Prussians, Balts, Gypsies, and even Scots, so the Polish genealogical landscape is actually a mosaic.
