Mr. Matt Rutherford from the Newberry Library will tell us about the insurance records acquired from the Polish Women's Alliance of America. In the summer of 2006, the Newberry Library received early insurance files from the Polish Women's Alliance of America. These records are of great value in researching Polish-American family history because they provide information about female immigrants. Each file typically contains a member's birthplace and her parents' names, as well as a wealth of other family data that can help in identifying and tracking your ancestors. Newberry librarian Matt Rutherford will present some examples of the records as well as discuss the efforts by the Newberry to make the files available for research.
