I hope this helps.

Brandy, how did you find this?! I went through the Lesson1 you pointed to, and at it's completion there was an implied Lesson2, so I changed the "1" to "2" and there it was! ... I went though that one, and again there was explicit mention of 3 Lessons, again I changed the "2" to "3" ---- But that fails, no such page.

These were EXCELLENT lessons that should help many non-Polish speaking/reading genealogists be able to read many of the Polish documents they have! I know I was excited to learn the dating used and was able to understand some of my documents! I really would love to see all the extras in that Lesson 3!!

I tried finding this from the top level (http://lds.org) and had no luck.

Thanks,
Bob K.

Well, let me say after you follow these steps that Im gonna give to you, you will be even more excited because it has so much helpful info. There are even videos to explain things. It explains all different cultures as well ie. German records, Italian etc.

Okay go to www.familysearch.org
then click the tab at the top of the page that says RESEARCH HELPS
Then click on ONLINE CLASSES
and your there. Scroll down and you will see the classes for POLISH HANDWRITTING.

There are so many others you could view them for days.
Have fun
Brandy

I just watched the lessons and as a Polish native I have to say that the complexity of Polish language, especially these related to the words endings presented in the lesson 2 http://broadcast.lds.org/elearning/FHD/Community/FHL/Handwriting/Polish/Lesson2/player.html are explained in a very accessible way. I think it may be really of a great help for all even for just to get the gist of the Polish records to check if they may relate to our ancestors.

Polish Lesson 1: Polish Letters http://broadcast.lds.org/elearning/FHD/Community/FHL/Handwriting/Polish/Lesson1/player.html

Polish Lesson 2: Polish Names, Dates, and Key Words http://broadcast.lds.org/elearning/FHD/Community/FHL/Handwriting/Polish/Lesson2/player.html

If anyone of you know about the announced Lesson 3, announced at the end of Lesson 2, about reading key information from Polish genealogical records, let us know Exclamation
