Gen Dobry!, Vol. XXI, No. 10, October 2020 — 1 ************************************** *** RECLAIM THE RECORDS GOES AFTER THE NARA! *** by Jan Meisels Allen
Editor – I hope you’ll forgive me if, for the third straight issue, I lead off with a post from Jan Meisels Allen, Chairperson of IAJGS Public Records Access Monitoring Committee. It may seem kind of lazy of me to keep quoting posts from IAJGS Public Records Access Alert. But I honestly think these are the most significant stories I’ve heard about during the last three months. If you think there’s something better I could publicize, please, let me know! In the meantime, I will be following this story with great interest.
Reclaim the Records is going after billions of digital images and text metadata from the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). It’s not a lawsuit yet, but a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
They are asking for everything, census, immigration records, military files, everything that NARA has through its public-private digitization program. The FOIA request was filed on October 14.
In their FOIA request, they assert the public-private partnership contains millions of records, individual documents found at
While Ancestry.com and Fold3.com are subscription sites, and Familysearch.org is a free site, all are available with free access in the Research Rooms at the National Archives and the regional archives and Presidential Libraries.
In exchange for these firms digitizing the historical records, NARA agreed to let these partners have the exclusive use of the newly digitized material on their websites for a certain amount of time. The exclusivity period was to be a limited time periods either three or five years, then NARA was to be able to disseminate the digitized public records both the images and metadata that accompanied them.
Reclaim the Records requests: • Every single record created under the public-private digitization partnership with Ancestry.com, Fold3.com, Archives.com –all part of the Ancestry family of companies, and Family Search. They are not asking for records created through NARA partnerships with smaller entities such as the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). • All of the digital images, in their original, full-size, uncompressed, and non-watermarked versions.
Gen Dobry!, Vol. XXI, No. 10, October 2020 — 2 • All of the associated text metadata (names, dates, places, etc.) also created under the partnership agreement, which goes along with those images, making them searchable. • All copies of finding aids, training materials, handbooks, checklists, formatting guidelines, data dictionaries, data templates, data lists, or other internal documentation that explains more about the digitization of these images and the transcription and compilation of their associated text metadata, and how they relate to each individual data set. • Any records that were digitized under NARA’s partnership program that may not have been properly delivered or returned to NARA after their digitization was completed. • All of these files, the images and text metadata and finding aids and data dictionaries and so on, be turned over to us in their original digital formats, as they were delivered to NARA by the partners, or turned over for the first time if the partner never delivered the final files • All copies to be provided on portable USB drives–the cost of drives, shipping and insurance borne by Reclaim the Records • Reclaim the Records wants to be considered a “media requestor” for the FOIA fee calculations, therefore not paying for any research or review fees only duplication fess after the first 100 pages of material.
Reclaim the Records asserts that NARA never posted online the majority of the records that were digitized under the partnership agreements. The FOIA request especially focuses on Ancestry. com which is a private corporation, which includes Fold3.com and Archives.com, stating “the vast majority of the billions of records digitized through NARA’s partnership program are now available only behind Ancestry’s subscription paywall, or through companies now owned by Ancestry with their own additional subscription paywalls.” They state that NARA created a de facto monopoly on nearly all digital copies of American digital documents such as census and immigration records, even if that was not NARA’s intent. They also contend that NARA denied independent requests for the copies of partnership-related data by two genealogy- related corporations and one-non-profit organization saying they would put the records online themselves through their Catalog or API.

Gen Dobry!, Vol. XXI, No. 10, October 2020 — 3 *** LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ***
Subject: Website for Researching West Prussian Surnames
For years I’ve used the following website to research West Prussian surnames. Suddenly, I am getting a “Not Found” message when I try to access the site. Do you know of this site and, if so, have you heard if it is relocated or discontinued? If not, do you know who else I could ask?
Ruth Susmarski
Editor – I’m giving that URL in red to mark it as a broken link; don’t waste time clicking on it. I did a little digging, and found that the basic website,
Ruth checked and verified this is the site she was looking for, and she kindly gave me permission to cite her name and email address. She wanted to add that she first learned of this database in 2016 from Brian “Al” Wierzba, who has a great blog titled Al’s Polish- American Genealogy Research Blog. She felt he deserves credit for the info he shares, and I agree. Al’s site is here:

*** POLISH CITIZENSHIP: THE LATEST FROM POLISH ORIGINS ***
Editor – I like to pass along the latest info sent out by PolishOrigins, because these updates often discuss questions of great interest to Polish-American researchers. The following is an edited version of a recent post to PolishOrigins’ blog. If you like, you can read the whole thing here:
The number of inquiries about obtaining Polish citizenship has risen dramatically in recent months. It may be a result of the genealogy research services we started to provide this March, but we are not sure if it is the only reason for the increased interest.
So far, also before 2020, we have managed to help quite a few people in obtaining documents required to submit applications for confirming Polish citizenship. Through the years we have also established working relationships with people who specialize in the legal process of confirmation of Polish citizenship through ancestry.
One of these experts who we have worked with on a regular basis, Katarzyna Kacprzak, prepared guidelines for confirming and obtaining Polish citizenship through ancestry. Katarzyna has a 100% success track record. If she accepts the case there is a good chance that she will deliver.
But is it necessary to be a Polish citizen to live in Poland?
You may have heard of people who decided to move to Poland, for example, from the U.S. One of such examples is David Piekarczyk and his wife Joan. For more than 13 years now they have been living in Poznań, western Poland. David, although a direct descendant of Poles, is not a Polish citizen yet. He and his wife have a residence permit to live in Poland. David shares his experience, impressions as well as opinions on his blog David Blog Poland.
Although I have never met David personally we met on-line many years ago not long after he moved to Poland. When I asked David if he could write a few words to our readers who might be interested in his experience of living in Poland he readily agreed. Here is what David shared with you:
“Why would you want to move to Poland when you don’t speak the language and don’t really know anybody”? That’s what our kids said to us when we told them in 2006 that we were moving to Poland the next year. It was true what they said. However, I began researching my family history and discovered there was a large related family in Poland I never knew about. My parents never spoke of them. Thus began a long and continuing life adventure. I started writing a blog describing all the our daily activities, the trials and tribulations of obtaining all the documents required, our travels from Poland to
Gen Dobry!, Vol. XXI, No. 10, October 2020 — 5 different countries, continued family research, residency permits, health insurance, cost of apartments or house buying, big and little problems, and the possibility of Polish citizenship. The last one I am still pursuing. In total, today there are 4,674 blogs since I started writing. Many have changed in prices and requirements since then. Now, thirteen years later, we are glad we made the decision.
I DO have a search engine on my blog. So, if you are looking for something specific like food shopping, bureaucracy, flats, citizenship, etc., all you have to do is enter a keyword in the search space. It should pull up past blogs that have that word in it. I tried the word bureaucracy and it pulled up 16 blogs going back to 2010. Some keywords to use are: immigration, NFZ, health insurance, food shopping, flats, apartments, documents, citizenship, doctors, hospital, driver’s license, moving, heating, residency permit, temporary resident permit, politics.
We still see the kids and grandkids, just that it’s on Skype, Zoom, WhatsApp, or Facebook. I have helped more than a few other Americans move to Poland by answering their email questions. Poland has changed since our first arrival. We had some trouble communicating because of the language barrier, Now, there are many people speaking English including doctors, dentists and other professions. We have visited 10 countries since moving here. We live in the center of Europe, Berlin is only 2 ½ hours away by car. My biggest advice is, if you are serious about moving, start planning at least one year before you move. In order for things to change, you have to change. We did, my wife and I changed our lives. We moved to Poland.
As you see, there are thousands of posts on the blog. As David suggests, you can use the search option in the blog if you want to find out about a specific topic. We did some searching for you and extracted links to posts in topics that might interest you.
Editor – A rather long list of links follows, grouped under different subjects. They’re all interesting, but it seems a little pointless to repeat them all here. If you wish, you can easily access them from PolishOrigins’ blog entry on this subject:
At the end, one more piece of information for the majority of you whose ancestors emigrated before 1920. If you reside in Poland on the basis of a permanent residence permit for at least a year, you can also apply for obtaining Polish citizenship if you prove your Polish ancestry, even if your forefathers lived here in the period when Poland didn’t exist on the world map.
I hope we were able to answer some of your questions regarding confirming (or obtaining) Polish citizenship and the possibility of living in the country of your ancestors.
The current situation also in Poland, especially in recent days, in politics, Covid-19, restrictions, is far from rosy. When will it change and in what direction? Nobody knows. But it will not last
Gen Dobry!, Vol. XXI, No. 10, October 2020 — 6 forever as nothing lasts forever. And as David wrote: “ if you are serious about moving, start planning at least one year before you move”.
*************************************** *** GENETEKA INDEX UPDATES *** by Waldemar Chorążewicz
Editor – Once more, let me pass along new Geneteka indexes updates shared by Waldemar on Facebook’s Polish Genealogy group this month. You can find assistance with the two-letter province abbreviations online, for instance, at
Here is an easy way to find out if an index has been updated. On the top right of results pages, there is a list of options (opcje). The last item is Wyszukaj tylko indeksy z ostatnich (search only indexes in the last), with a choice of 1, 3, 7, 14, 31, and 60 days. This permits receiving results only in the chosen time period. Example of use: 1) select the search page icon, 2) select świętokrzyskie, 3) select parish Sokolina and the wyszukaj option with 31 days, 4) if any, only results entered for the last 31 days will be shown. A surname might be added to further limit results.

Gen Dobry!, Vol. XXI, No. 10, October 2020 — 15 *** UPCOMING EVENTS ***
Most upcoming in-person events have been canceled due to the pandemic; but many have been switched to online events. Here is a list of specific events I have heard about recently:
7 November 2020 PGSCTNE MEMBERS HELPING MEMBERS WEBINAR “My Polish Family Discoveries in the PA Coal Region” – Michael Miscoski 12 p.m – 2 p.m. ET
Join us on November 7th from 12-2 p/m/ EST for our next webinar, when the topic will be “My Polish Family Discoveries in the PA Coal Region,” presented by Michael Miscoski.
In making his family discoveries, Mike had to use almost all the tools in the genealogist’s toolbox: unscrambling Americanized surnames, wild card searches, using Soundex, luck, using foreign sites, calling on researchers, DNA, and more.
Join us as Mike shares the story of his research journey and the winding road he took to break down walls to push his research further.
This will be an entertaining and informative discussion where everyone will learn tools and strategies to use in your own research.
About the Speaker: PGSCTNE member, Michael Miscoski (B.E.E., M.B.A., University of Delaware), was born in the Pennsylvania coal region – Shamokin, Northumberland, PA. Five of his eight great grandparents are from current-day Poland (one from Bydgoszcz; four from Suwałki). The one common trait of the emigres was that they all became “Coal Crackers,” living in Shamokin and Shenandoah PA.
Mike retired after 32 years with Hewlett-Packard and Agilent Technologies. After retirement and genealogy courses at Osher Lifelong Learning (2012), he realized that genealogy research was the perfect transition from his work life – “deep data diving” into family history.
Our webinars are open to active PGSCTNE members. If you wish to become a member, please click on the link below to join. You’ll have access to this webinar as well as recordings of all our past webinars.
NOTE: Current PGSCTNE members will receive a link to the webinar in a separate email prior to the webinar. If you do not receive the link by November 6th, email
