This was Tomasz's second UPGS seminar.
In 2006 he "dropped by" while on a business trip to the U.S. This year he was an active and valued participant- not only lecturing, but conducting Skype sessions with Polish genealogists. This photo of Tomek holding the 2008 UPGS syllabus was taken on a genealogy camping trip shortly after he returned to Poland. http://www.genealodzy.pl/fotoalbum/displayimage.php?album=47&pos=18

Tomasz Nitsch with Marek Jerzy Minakowski PhD
Conversation with Marek Jerzy Minakowski PhD, Polish historian and genealogist, who built the greatest Polish genealogical database. Dr. Minakowski’s database shows e.g., that most of Polish famous poets (Rey, Kochanowski, Morsztyn, Krasicki, Mickiewicz, Krasiński, Miłosz and Herbert) have family ties with each other. Dr Minakowski is also the Chairman of the Society of the Descendants of Sejm Wielki, organization similar to the Sons of American Revolution.
