Robinn Magid:

Discovering Hidden Treasure in the JRI-Poland Database  

February 17th, 2019  Sunday Afternoon
 1:30 pm   at   American Jewish University

The Jewish Records Indexing – Poland (JRI-Poland.org) database is the premier finding aid for the surviving  documentation of Jewish vital records from the current and former territories of Poland. Many original records can now be viewed through our website. More extracted details about these records are now available through us than ever before. Finding or recognizing the record you need to further your research can be challenging for many reasons. This lecture will focus on how to help you perform better searches and understand the results that you get.
Come join us as we explore how to discover hidden treasure in the JRI-Poland database!
