"Researchers interested in their Polish roots are faced with
a unique set of challenges, from the language to the infinite spelling variations and the shifting boundaries on the map. This
program will explore these challenges, important American sources, both print and online, and research strategies that can shed
light on your ancestoral town in Poland."
Other programs to be held on Monday March 19 thru Saturday March 24 include sessions
on French Canadian research, Native American, Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) research assistance, researching American
Revolutionary war ancestors, pre-Civil War African American research and Irish/Scots-Irish genealogy.

If you have not used the Macomb County Funeral Home Master Index www.mtclib.org/search/funeralhomes.php,
you might be pleasantly surprised. There are now over 92,500 names in this index, including many from Oakland and Wayne Counties,
as many of these Funeral Homes originated in those counties. These abstracted records, available at the Mount Clemens Public
Library usually give the date and place of birth and death, place of burial, name of parents, and spouse, and sometimes other information.
The
Mount Elliott Cemetery Association - Many of their burial records have been converted to an electronic database and some information
may be available online. . www.mtelliott.com/genealogy
