Robinn Magid – An Introduction to the Polish State Archives Website
March 8, 2026 @ 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm EDT
– Zoom Meeting
This program will be recorded and available for 6 months on the member’s page.
Join us as we explore how you can use the Polish State Archives (PSA) website to further your family history research. The PSA holds records for places in the current or former territories of Poland, including sections of Lithuania, Germany, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, and lands of the former Prussia and Galicia. By understanding the limitations of both the JRI-Poland website and the PSA website, this talk can help you best use each website. Bring your family names and known towns to ask questions of Robinn during the Q&A.
