Presenter Grace DuMelle will discuss little-known sources for Polish genealogy at the Newberry Library, such as the Polish Women’s Alliance of America records and a geographic directory of the Polish kingdom. This program is co-sponsored by the Polish Genealogical Society of America and the Library.
An assistant in the Reference and Genealogy Services Section, Grace Dumelle guides genealogy patrons of all levels, answers reference queries, manages the Newberry's loan program with the Family History Library in Salt Lake City and processes donations of genealogical materials. Dumelle's research interests lie in lesser-known records and methodology. Her articles on Illinois state hospital records continue to shed light on a sensitive topic. She is the author of the award-winning Finding Your Chicago Ancestors: A Beginner's Guide to Family History in the City and Cook County.
