On Tuesday, July 21, 2020, CCGS will be hosting a virtual meeting, presented by Julie Roberts Szczepankiewicz, that will demonstrate how to use those family stories to start your research into your family tree. She will use examples drawn from her own research into her family of Polish immigrants to Buffalo, New York, and will identify key websites and strategies that will allow you to trace your family in both U.S. and Polish records. She will also offer some resources for overcoming that language barrier, as well.
Julie Roberts Szczepankiewicz is a genealogist, writer, and speaker, with nearly 30 years of experience in researching her family's origins in Poland, Germany, the U.S. and Canada. Her passion for genealogical research started when she was a graduate student, after she was given a copy of her great-grandparents' marriage record as a gift. After reading the names of a previously unknown generation of ancestors on that document, she was hooked!
She currently volunteers as administrator and regular contributor to a number of genealogy related Facebook groups, and serves on the board of directors for the Polish Genealogical Society of Massachusetts. Her articles have been published in the journals of both the Polish Genealogical Society of America and the Polish Genealogical Society of Massachusetts. She is also the author of a genealogy blog, From Shepherds and Shoemakers. Julie currently resides in Hopkinton, MA, with her husband and youngest daughter.You are invited to join us on Tuesday, July 21, 2020, for our 10 AM, meeting on Zoom.
