DESCRIPTION OF MAIL LIST
PolandBorderSurnames - A surname-based mail list for those researching genealogy in the former historical borders of Poland including Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Russia, the Balkans, West Prussia and East Prussia.
WE DO NOT PERFORM PERSONAL RESEARCH AND WE CANNOT PERSONALLY ASSIST YOU IN FINDING YOUR ANCESTORS. Members of the mail list will give you tips based on how they have been able to refine their research techniques.
Our goal is to help you learn how to research on your own. Members of the mail list will help you learn how to research. (See "How To Subscribe," below.) After subscribing to the mail list, you will need to provide as much information as possible in your post to the list so that members can guide you:
*Names of your Known Ancestors
*Dates of Events
*Places of Events
*Religion
*Names of Siblings and their spouses, if known.
Please let us know what searches you have performed, so we do not repeat what you have already done. Giving us your successes and failures with help us know how we may be able to help you. Without this information, there's not much a list member can do to help you. Members of this mail list are not professional researchers. They are learning how to research. As they learn, they teach others how to research.
