Summary: Dzien Dobry i Witam Państwa. Hello and welcome to the Polish Genealogy Podcast. This is Podcast #1 recorded on Sunday November 6th, 2011. I am your host David Newman I decided to create The Polish Genealogy Podcast after listening to two other great genealogical podcasts. While browsing the internet, I stumbled upon The Genealogy Guys Podcast. George Morgan and Drew Smith along with AHAH Seminars produce a genealogical show that discusses news, events and answers genealogical questions from listeners of their show. George and Drew also record their show on location at various genealogical conferences. You can download, listen and learn more about the Genealogy Guys Podcast by going to their website at: http://genealogyguys.com . I will put all the website addresses I talk about in the Show Notes While listening to their show, they mention another genealogy podcast called Genealogy Gems Podcast produced by Lisa Louise Cook. Lisa’s show provides quick and innovative ways to make the absolute most of your research time and create innovative ways to display your family history. She accomplishes this by sharing her research discoveries/tips and tricks on her podcast. She also has interesting guest interviews on her show that brings a more lively genealogy learning experience. You can listen and learn more about the Genealogy Gems Podcast by going to her website at: http://genealogygems.tv Maria Northcote just started an Australian Genealogy Podcast called Genies Down Under, Her website is: http://www.geniesdownunder.com.au/ There’s no doubt, other ethnic genealogy podcasts are now available. I could not find a Polish Genealogy Podcast, so I decided to create one myself. I have 15 years research experience with my own Polish Ancestry. I’ve traveled to Poland 8 times in the past 11 years. In 2005, I married my wife Agnieszka in Poland. I give presentations on Polish Genealogy to the Family History Center and local area genealogical societies. I’m president of the Polish Genealogical Society of New York State. Throughout the years I’ve acquired a vast amount of knowledge and have networked with others in the Polish Genealogical Community as well as the Polish Community (Polonia). I created this podcast to share my experiences and knowledge with anyone interested in finding their Polish Ancestors, by providing a means for them to learn, at their convenience, how to save time and research effort, to inform them that there is plenty help available, they just have to know where to look. I also created this podcast to help foster a Polish Genealogical Network of people that helps each other with their research. The Polish Genealogy Podcast will be recorded monthly about an hour each episode and cover: 1) Polish Genealogy News/Events 2) Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced Polish Research Topics 3) Answer questions relating to Polish Genealogy 4) Interviews with others in the Polish Genealogical Community. The Polish Genealogy Podcast can be download from ITunes and http://polgenpodcast.com/podcast/ Please also visit the Polish Genealogy Facebook http://www.facebook.com/PolishGenealogyPodcast I will never claim to know everything about researching Polish Ancestry. If I don’t know the answer, I will know where to direct someone to find the answer. I look forward to discussing Polish Genealogy with you. Dowizenia i Dozobaczenia See you and Goodbye David Newman
