My journey into genealogy began with a simple curiosity about my own family history. What started as a personal hobby quickly evolved into something much more profound as I delved deeper into our ancestral past.

After completing my own family tree, I co-founded Polish Genius in 2001, one of the longest-running mailing lists dedicated to Polish genealogy research. While originally hosted on Yahoo Groups, we successfully transitioned to Groups.io last year and continue to thrive thanks to the dedication of Debbie Greenlee, whose passion, patience, and willingness to share her extensive knowledge has been invaluable to our community.

As social media expanded, I established a Polish Genius Facebook page to reach more researchers. Our newest addition is the Polish Genius Facebook group, where I share insights and help others overcome their research challenges.

What began as a personal interest gradually transformed into a professional career when members of our community began requesting assistance with their own family research. Today, I specialize in helping others discover their Polish roots while sharing knowledge about Poland’s rich history and culture. I’m proud to be affiliated with the Polish Genealogical Society of America, where I contribute articles to their publication, “Rodziny.”
