So my eyes are still not good enough for me to really get into this website and figure out what it is, and how to use it, BUT instead of me probably losing the link I'm sharing it now. I imagine those of you familiar with Polish research will know what to do.
Oh I did have to hit the 'Translate' button twice to get it to work. Here ya go http://kami.net.pl/

These courses will appeal to genealogists/family historians looking for education/knowledge that will take them beyond just their ancestors names, and birth, marriage, death dates/locations. The courses are all fun because Pat makes them that way! Pat has been teaching and speaking at seminars for 18 years from Whitehorse to Scotland. She continues to write new courses and will be offering courses again in Fall 2017 through Arcola East Community Association Regina, and online!!

WWI Database - FREE
"What’s Included in the Database
This database combines references to various First World War personnel records. Over the next few years, digitized versions of all of the files will be added to the database references. At present, the database includes digitized files for many individuals of the Canadian Expeditionary Force and the Royal Newfoundland Regiment and Newfoundland Forestry Corps (courtesy of the Rooms Provincial Archives). Newly digitized CEF files are added to the references every two weeks."
I encourage you to read through the introduction before you begin your search. BUT I know you won't do that. So I encourage you to read through the introduction after you've not been successful in your searches. haha It's what beginners do - so excited to jump right in and search, but without understanding how the database works you will never be totally successful.
Complete personnel files have been digitized and linked, alphabetically, and will be completed sometime in 2018.
It seemed fitting to post this today. Thanks for your service, past and present. https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/military-heritage/first-world-war/personnel-records/Pages/personnel-records.aspx

Where Have You Been Pat?
Thanks so much to those of you who inquired where I've been, or if I'm OK. Nice to be missed. haha
Actually I had quite a bad flu that kept me in bed for two solid weeks. Then three days ago I had cataract surgery on one eye. All went well ... until I had a clear lens put in my glasses to accomodate the 'new' eye. Shoot! The two eyes do NOT get along, so now I'm seeing double and it's damned frustrating, debilitating, and scary. BUT this Sunday morning I've been forcing myself to keep the glasses on for most of the past 3 days (almost sick to my stomach for the first whole day cause it makes you dizzy and dissoriented), and I think it's getting a tiny bit better so I'm hopeful. 'They' say it just takes time for the eyes to learn to focus together so I just have to persist. Sigh. So, that's my story.
And I send my since THANKS to my friend and 'old' student, Bonnie A., whom has also had this surgery and has given me email support so I don't feel like I'm the ONLY person in the world to be going through this and that my challenges are, and have been, her challenges too. Thanks so much my friend. Life is always challenging. AND this, for sure, is a first world challenge so I guess I am thankful.
Cheers,
Pat
