Post subject: The Study of Obituaries as a Source for Polish Gen Research
Polish Genealogical Society of America just reissued book The Study of Obituaries as a Source for Polish Genealogical Research from 1984 by Thomas E. Golembiewski. In this edition the text and obituaries have been enhanced for easier reading.
Below there is an abstract from review of the book by Rosalie Lindberg:

"One way to determine the relationships of earlier ancestors is to look at obituaries. But, if you are doing Polish research the most interesting and valuable ones are old and likely written in (surprise!) Polish. About 25 years ago our Society, then known simply as the Polish Genealogical Society, published a book written by Thomas E. Golembiewski on gathering family history information from obituaries. In recent years, researchers have rediscovered what a valuable resource obituaries can be. As a result PGSA has received more and more questions about the information they contain. So as a service to our members and others interested in this unique resource, PGSA has issued the second edition of The Study of Obituaries as a Source for Genealogical Research."
