Tomasz Boroń

Hi Tomasz,

Thank you for the information on John Silke (Olbinski-4). I have added it as a Research Note for now, until I can work on this. He listed his date of birth as 30 Nov 1882 when he registered for the draft for World War II, so that was date I had gone by.

Greetings Poland Project member! Thank you for your interest in the Poland Project. We have new information and updates:

• The Poland Project is a collaborative environment for others to preserve their family history. For the last several months, the Poland Project has been undergoing new organization with new volunteers. We are excited about how the project can enhance Wikitree!

• We have several different task teams that need volunteers. Please take a look at this page to see which one interests you: Volunteer Tasks. Once you have decided which task team you would like to work on, please reply to this comment.

• The only requirements for ongoing membership in the Poland Project are that you join a team, work with your Team Leader, respond to the periodic check-ins from the Project Leaders/Coordinators and help the Project satisfy its goals. We recognize that people lead busy lives and are grateful for any and all contributions you can make.

• Once you have joined a team, please join the Poland Project Google Group to receive project updates and participate in project and team discussions.

• If we don’t hear from you in the next 45 days, your membership badge will be removed. In this case please don't be offended as you're welcome to rejoin at any time. Please also note, that in order to receive help researching your Polish ancestors, membership is not mandatory. Just ask your questions in the G2G forum and tag them with Poland_Europe or Polska in order for our knowledgeable researchers to see them.

Hello again Tomasz! You have many categories that I cannot access here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Krotoschin_%28Kreis%29%2C_Posen due to privacy settings. Please update these profiles with specific villages and remove the Krotoschin (Kreis) category. If you need any more villages to be created, please let me know and I would be happy to do that for you! Thank you for all of your contributions!! Skye, Poland Project

Also, which language do you speak primarily? I have no problem using a language translator if it helps. Thank you!

I wanted to add for your information: When you add a village category, you only need to add one of the three duplicate villages. Three categories (of the same village) are created in German/Prussia, English/Poland and Polish/Poland ... all profiles entered into any ONE of these will appear in all three categories. Posen time-frame is 1815-1918, so if a profile is before or after 1815-1918 use the Poland village name.

Hello Tomasz! You have added a WONDERFUL amount of profiles to Wikitree and thank you! In the Poland Project we are working on categorizing by village. It is a slow process, but if you have any village categories you would like to have created immediately, please send me a message (with a link to a profile.)

As you continue to add profiles to Wikitree, also add the village category as it is a great way for you keep track of your work by location. For example: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Zalesny_Jankwo%2C_Adelnau%2C_Posen. It is also a great way for other Wikitree users to find profiles by location, because there are often variations in the spelling of the surname (and not easy to find.) Thank you again for all of your contributions and hard work!

Skye, Poland Project

I am so very grateful for all of the new work you have added to my Szczepecki relatives! Many blessings on you for your help! Deb

Dear Tomasz,

Thank you so much for all the help on my Nowosielski tree as well as all the additions on Felix Nowosielski's tree.

Thanks for all the updates you have done to the Bromberg family. They are relations to my Brother-in-law but still much appreciated.

Thank you for all you do, Tomasz!

Hi Tomasz

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Pre-1700 ancestors can be shared by many descendants, so collaboration is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

The Slavic Roots Project may fit your research focus. If not, use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find other possibilities. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.

Have questions? Let me know by using the "reply" link under my comments or by clicking my name to visit my profile. From there you can leave a comment or send a private message.

Hi Tomasz

Thank you for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.

Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.

The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.

To get the best results, continue adding sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to ancestors already in WikiTree. If you have exhausted what you know on one line, it can sometimes help to add what you know on another line. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.

Let me know if you have any questions and have fun!
