Click on the link above for a poster of my family tree. The poster is a “pdf” file. Adobe Acrobat Reader is needed to view it.
I deleted the names of living people from this web version. If you are a family member please feel free to send me an email asking for the version that includes everyone. I have both a color version and a B&W version. I also have a version of the full poster shrunk to 8.5 by 11 format for printing on a standard printer.
You can print this poster at your local copy shop. The size is 36 inches wide by 24 inches high. Most copy shops have large printers. You should be able to phone in the order, using your credit card, email the poster to the shop, and pick it up later.
The cost to print the B&W version should be $3 to $5.
The cost to print the color version should be $40 to $100, depending upon your quality choices, and upon local pricing.
If you are a relative of mine, even not a descendant of my parents, some of your ancestors are on this poster.

Gwozdz Family Tree Short Version.pdf. A short, simple version of the book. Only 29 pages. 2017 version. That full book is quite complex; this version might be better for people without genealogy experience. This version has some cute family legend stories that are not in the main book.

These are reports on my trips to Poland for genealogy and for finding distant cousins. These documents are a bit out of date; some of the information has been superceded by more recent research findings. My book has the most recent information. I do not plan to update these reports, since their archive value is actually better knowing they have not been modified. However, bear in mind that better genealogy information is available. If you just want to read one good short story, start with “The Fat Horse”, report number 13 in Poland 98.Doc. These are Word 2000 documents, except 2006, which is Adobe pdf. If you have trouble, right click, save the file on your computer, and open it from your computer.
