The Board of Directors of PGS-MN has authorized that aMail List using its name be created on the Internet to further theinterests of those of us pursuing Polish Family Research inMinnesota and vicinity and areas of Poland where Minnesotansare known to originate. This list is for the discussion of histori-cal and genealogical topics relevant to Poles in Minnesota. Dis-cussion of migration patterns, immigration, heraldry, historicalsketches, Polish settlements, census data, wills, family Bibles,vital records, web sites, etc. relateing to Polish genealogy is en-couraged. Public announcements of interest to relevant events inMinnesota or neighboring states or to genealogists in general,though they may not be PGS-MN specific, are permitted butplease use discretion.

This is one of the ways the Board wants to expand its servicesto those members who are not living in Minnesota. As the Listgrows, further services may be added where possible. You donot have to be a member of PGS-MN to participate and you arehereby invited to participate.

To get the regular version of the list, just send a message tothis [IRL: <PGS-MN-L-request@ rootsweb.com> ( put only theword'"subscribe", without the quotes, in the body of the mes-sage). To get the digest version, where you would only get onemessage per day use : <PGS -MN-D-request@ rootsw eb. com>(again, put only the word "subscribe", without the quotes, in thebody of the message).

For those of you not familiar with Mail Lists, they are mailgroups where you send and receive messages from maybe hun-drcds of people (not every day) by using only one address. Youcan read what others who are searching in the same areas as youare doing, their succcsses, and their failures (hopefully, more ofthe tbrmcr). And you can send out queries or rcqucsts for help,i)r your suggestions, to all using only one mail address. Thereare thousands of these lists on the Intemet and are one of thegreat reasons for its success.

lf after a time you do not want to reccive further mail tiom the [ist, unsubscribing is very simple. Similarll',;rnsubscribing temporarily is simplc for those of you who go on vacations, etc. This message is gt>ing out to ttrc,nernhers of the PGS-MN under the authority of the Bord of Directors.

President's Letter:Wc havc observed that many PGS-MN memhrs

either have visited, t-rr intend to visit Poland. They will visitin scarch ol genealogical information, tct visit relativcs theyhave uncovered, [o see the country, or all of the above.

Many members of PGS-MN have visited Poland,either self-guided or on tours. We think that those who areconsidering such a trip might benefit from the experiences ofthose who have been there. Several of us are willing to con-duct an informal meeting ahc)ut travel to Poland on onc of theSaturdays rhat PGS-MN stafti the MGS Library. We stalf thelibrary on the ttrurth Saturday of most months, trom 9:00 amto l2:0() m.

lf there is sufflcient interest in such a meeting, let meknow. Give me an indication of questions you have, placesyou may visit. c<lncerns )'|ou have. experiences with non-linglistr speak]ng travcl, etc. For some of us who have tral'-ctc<i in Poland. il is an easy, inexpensive country to visit. flut.as my wife reminils me. my way of traveling is not for all' Itis important that you try to deterrnine.itrst how you_want totravoi. We would try t() limit this mceting to Poland bu[ wernay also he able to help with ad-iacent countries.

Let me know if you are interested, and if there is.,uit'iciertt interost we wilt arrange it. I would guess that thismeeting would not ()ccur until late Sumnrer or early Fall of2(X)1. tI you have traveled to Polancl, and want to share yourexpeden;es/expertise, k;t me kntrw. Wt: will publish a meet-

fgfrg6 tO tly €diff Many thanks for your work on rindils information

refu, xe do[rvrw i[;-',,iJ,t#f; f;: fii;tr i;;i:;i t: ;'fil];;,First of all, I was very pleased with the prompt and

Kashubian researchI always read with interest the PGS-MN Newsletter.

I am impressed with the hard work put into it and lookforward to receiving it. Please keep up the good work.ln the latest issue (Winter 2000-01, p.6) a letter fromScott Writz raised my interest.

Mr. Writz was inquiring atter the sumame WRYCAtiom Berentfi(reis Berent of West Prussia. It was notedthat the town is now known as Koscierzna.lt was alsonoted that searches there might reveal that the surnamehe was looking for might well be from the surroundingrural area.

I have been working on the surname WREZA in thesame Gdansk area. In my search I had the opportunityto cr)rrespond with Adeline Sopa at 2711 DanbarDrive, Green Bay WI 54313-7002. She advised methat she had no direct knowledge of the name but wasaware that a common name in central Wisconsin wasWRYCZA and those that she knew had origins in theSuleczyno and Stezyca parishes in the Gdansk area.Looking a map shows both of these are close to Kos-cierzna.

A similar letter to Shirley Connolly, 21 GranvilleAve, Ottawa, Ont. KIY OM5, resulted in the informa-tion that she had come across the name WRYZA in theparishes of Lesno and Lipusz. These too are in theCdansk area. She adds that it is a common Kashubianname. I also find it interesting that in a search of thesurname index featured by PGS-MN at the MGS"Branching Out" meeting reveals that the Wreza sur-nanre is particular to the Gdansk area with abc:utZ1listings in 1990.

I would apprcciate if you would forward this infor-maticrn to Mr Witz.I hope it is of some help to him. Iwould also appreciate if he would watch out tbr theWrcza sumame in his search. It is likely there is somec()nnection. My surname came over around 1875 andsettled in Gilman area of central Minnesota.

thorough review of the MATROS surname throughoutPoland. But, I was absolutely ovcrwhelmed whcn yousent the email telling of finding their home parish atFalkowice. I am most grateful.

The baptismal dates match their birth dates closely(I had their binh dates previously). Frank Matros wasborn on October 4th, 1866. He was baptized a daylater. The same pat0em is true for Magdalena Jacubik.She was bom on lily 22,1868, and was baptized a daylater.

Until your email, I had hit nothing but blank walls.A certificate of citizenship for my grandparents did notindicate the place of birth. Death certificates had aspace that asks about their place of birth. But all theysaid was "Germany." No town or parish.

Again, my most sincere thanks!

Translation GuideI am having difficulty translating a microfilm from

the LDS tibrary on the Polish parish where my grand-father was born. It is in paragraph form and very hardto decipher. A suggestion was made to me from some-one on the Polish Forum thar the book, A GenealogistsTranslntion Guide to Polish Documents, by Shea and

Hoftman might be helpf'ul. Are you familiar with thisbook and if so is it worth the $30'?

Also, will I be able to extend the rental on thismicrofilm at the LDS library'?

.Joanne Holme <Holmetwo@aol.com>

Editrtr' s reply: See Greg Kishel's review of Shea

ctnd Hoffinan's guide on pp.6-7. I think that it isworth the price. You can order a copy through thisncw,sletter ( See advertising insert ).

You muy renew LDS films twice. Many LDS FamilyHistory Centers now allow films to remain at thatCcnter on a permanent loan basis after the secondrenevt'al (.See itcm in the Bulletin Board, p. j ).

Newsletter [Winter 2000-0I l, pp.8-9):My husband and I were inlolved in a prtiject spon-

sored by the Morrison County Historical Societywhere they had us locate each ancl every grave in acemetery and record the marker type, size and i\LLthe infbrmation that appeared on the gravestone andthe location of the grave within each cemetery, Thiswas done so that all this information could be put oncomputer and indexed tbr use by the public. We re-corded 3 cemeteries for this project "[ or 5 years ago.So the project could very well be completed by now.

We recorded St. John's, St. Joseph's and [.one Pineall in Morrill, MN, Morris<.rn County. St. Michael'sin Buckman is in Morrison Co. so it is also proLrablyrecorded.

Reviewed by Greg Kishel

During the 1990s, an assortment of books on Polishand Polish-American genealogy was published. Ofthem all, Rosemary Chorzempa's fine Polish Roots(Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, I 993)was the only true general reference, all of the othersrvere specialized as to function (translation guide,gazetteer or gazetteer aid, etc.), locale (by Partition orAmerican subject), or both. As Polish Roots went intoreprinting without revision, however, we needed some-thing more for the next stage of our general research.The maturing of Polish-American genealogical socie-ties, the expanded tilming programs of the LDS Fami-ly History Library, the increasing interest in geneakrgyin post-communist Poland itsell and the evolution ofsecondary sources on the World Wide Web all criedfor a guide to introduce them to researchers who'dgotten beyond fledgling status.

We don't quite have that comprehensive advanced-Ievel guide yet. However, we do have something that's,.Jamed close, and just in time for the true millennium.Jonathan Shea and William F. "Fred" Hoffman are twoo1' the most prominent Polish-American genealogists.Among their many joint and individual publicationswas Following the Paper Trail, an aid to translatingdocuments in the major ianguages relevant to genea-logical research within the boundaries of the PolishCommonwealth. Rather than revise that work withinits original one-book format, Fred and Jon decided toexpand it to tbur sepamte volumes, each to cover oneof the languagcs, and to get into more and differentsorts of genealogical data sources.

were ubiquitous in the Russian Partition. These arevery helpful to beginner and experienced genealogistalike, building on prior treatrnents and offering newangles. As one would expect from Fred Hoffman, deanof American translators from Slownik geograficznykrdlesiwa polskiego, there is a long guide to thatsourceo the principal 19th-centtry gazetteer of thePolish lands of Europe. It collates the best content ofFred's many articles in the publications of the PolishGenealogical Society of America.

But In Their Words goes beyond those expectedtopics, to include other genealogical sources little-heeded or not reccntly covered in the literature. I wasable to use the volume to great advantage in translatinga Polish-lamguage obituary from a Wisconsin newspa-per, and in puzzling out the liactured Polish spellingsin gravestone inscriptions that I had transcribed at St.Isidore's Cemetery in Sturgeon Lake, Minnesota.There are guides to church histories and directoriespublished in Poland, consular records, passports, per-sonal lettcrs, and military documents. There are intro-ductions to major Germerr- and Russian-language gaz-cttcers, tor thcir material on lands that were populatedby Polcs.

,\fter issuing Poksnion Settle'ments ir 'fi'r.rts to alarge number of geneakrgical and cultural s,rcic'tics. ar-chives, and librarics, Jim started a simil:lr c,rllection oIanecdotes and excerpts with a nationwicle scope. Withhis own gleanings trom histories and biographics, ex-tracts from articles in genealogical publications, atrdcontributions tiom others, he has assembled anothertimeline of noteworthy pcrsons and evcnts in thcgrowth of American Polonia.

The basic tormat is vcry similar to that of his Texas-centered volume. Because his subject matter includesthe large urban cnclaves of the Northeast and Midwest,much more of the materiai highlights Potish-Amcricanachievements in politics, joumalism, and the arts.There are also demographic snapshots of thr- size ofvarious local communities tiorn a variety of sources.As he did in the earlier volume, Jim shows a good eyetbr the dramatic, illustrative anecdote; the lonelinessand t'ear of humble, unlettered people throrvn into analien culture emerges from time to time, alongsideproud success rn the toundation of parish churches.newspaper publication, election to public otfir":e. andeven the cinema. As he says, "'lhere needs to be somerecognition of those who will never be mentioned in''Who's Who' lists but whose contribution to their com-munities and their nation camot be questioned."

This is a good, solid effort again, in which the time-line format certainly gives a strong sense of Poiishpresencc growing rapidly from the mid- t9th ccnturyand spreading .across haif the country. Jim hastens tosay that this volume is only a start, however. [.le is so-liciting contributions liom all sourccs--old newspaperarticles, personal narratiyes. church .juhilee br-xlks, li'a-temal-society historics, and anything else lhat docu-ments the way in which Poles nrade their place inAmerica.

I am searching for information on the STRJSZEK(Johanna) andGOLTZ (Peter) families who I believecame from theKamrnlZ,empelbergffuchel area ofWest Prussia. Peter came to US in 1881. He marriedJohanna about 1884 and had a daughter, Maria, sup-posedly bom 1885 in North Prairie MN. They settledin the Gilman area of Benton County. Johanna died1894. Peter rema:ried Elizabeth SNYDER. Both areburied in St. Anna, Steams County. I would like anyinformation on the Goltz and Strjszek families, espe-cially on Johanna. Also are there any booklets, etc. onNorth Prairie 1850-1900.

Church S ponsore d B ride s

We all have family stories that contain little "snip-pets" of information that make us want more. For anumber of years.I have been seeking more informationon the possibility that the Catholic church may havesponsored women tiom Poland to come to the U.S. tomarry Polish men who had immigrated earlier. I be-came interested in this because my understanding isthat my grcat grandfather's second wil'e was sponsoredby the church. She was quite a bit younger than him,but at an age where she would have been considered a

spinster and not likely to marry. I have been told lhatshe came to St. Paul, Minnesota (about 1907) fromPoland sponsored by the Catholic church.I wrote toPGSA. and both the PGS in Michigan and Wisconsinsome years ago. None of them had information onchurch sponsored brides but all were eager to hear if Iever learned more. I was encouraged when an elderlyrelative told me his mother-in-law had been sponsoredby a Lutheran church to come to the U.S' fromdermany to find a husband. So I feel this was actuallypractice by some churches. Does anyong else-have anyiamily evidence or information that will verify thispractice'l
