PolishRoots^® was created to harness the power of the Internet to present research materials of interest to those researching their Polish ancestry.   Its most popular features are the PolishRoots SurnameSearch™, which allows users to register surnames they are researching, translated entries from the Slownik Geograficzny, a 19th Century Polish gazetteer covering present and former territories within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and a variety of databases such as PNA Lodges and Galician Vital Records availability.

PolishRoots is staffed entirely by volunteers.  To learn more about what PolishRoots offers anyone researching their Polish ancestry, we invite you to explore.

Our goal at PolishRoots^® is to make maps, gazetteers, obituary indexes, cemetery listings, headstone listings, etc. available through online access for individuals conducting Polish research.
