Members’ Only Events in December 2024
JRI-Poland is delighted to announce the next set of Members Only Events designed around
general topics of interest expressed by our researchers.
Understanding when a digital image of one of your ancestor’s official documents is available
and determining how to view it can sometimes be challenging and highly unpredictable. Seeing
or downloading a specific record, special to you, can make a significant difference when
searching for answers to your detailed questions. And while it’s not always possible, it often is
simply a matter of knowing the options and how to search for them.
JRI-Poland veteran researchers, Hadassah Lipsius and Robinn Magid team up for this special
Members Only event that will be presented twice (Thursday, December 5 th and Sunday,
December 8 th ) to accommodate our viewers around the globe. The times of the sessions are
described in New York’s Eastern time zone on the Events Registration webpages.
Each session has a separate sign up and separate Zoom Ticket, but it is possible to sign up for
more than one. If you have problems or questions, please use the Tawk.to Chat Widget for
quick response. (It resembles a cartoon chat bubble with a smile and is located at the bottom
right of most screens of our website.)
Each 90-minute session will include approximately 50% presentation time and ample Question
& Answer time and will be recorded for addition to our JRI-Poland Video Library for the
exclusive use of our members.
(A JRI-Poland member is someone who donates $54 US specifically for the purpose of
Membership. Your membership supports our critical General Fund and is separate and distinct
from a gift to our specific projects such as our Town Funds or NextGen Fund. All are necessary
to our successfully helping you – but Membership is a relatively new way to support the JRI-
Poland mission.)
To check your status or to become a JRI-Poland member, please log in to the JRI-Poland.org
website, and hover over the HELLO bubble at the top right of your screen which invokes a drop
down menu. Visit “MY PROFILE” on that screen to see your membership status and to change
it. If you have questions or problems with your membership, please contact Gary Pokrassa, our
volunteer treasurer at: [email protected].
