The book includes: A step-by-step guide, which teaches researchers how to divide each document into a series of "mini-documents" so as to make easier the task of understanding what each document says; 7 sample documents with important words and the information which follows these words highlighted; and 15 topical vocabulary lists, such as Age, Family and Occupations, which are composed of words that actually occur in 19th-century documents.
The first edition of the book (1984)[2] was significantly revised in its second edition (1989),[3] which expanded upon the various topical lists and added a listing of numerous given names as found in the relevant records.
The Jewish Genealogical Society of Illinois, publisher of the book, released a third, revised edition in 2009.[4] Set in larger type, it further expands the topical lists, includes a map, and provides information about census records and how the Polish language works (including an explanation of case endings and name suffixes). The third edition also includes tips on how to locate one's ancestral town and records from that town.
Due to her work on the book, the Polish Genealogical Society of America (PGSA) recognized Judith Frazin's contribution to the field of genealogy by selecting her to receive its Wigilia award in 2000.[5] The PGSA's Wigilia Award honors individuals or organizations that have made a significant contribution to Polish-American Genealogy.[6] An earlier recipient of the award was the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) for its "efforts to microfilm eastern European records in areas that once belonged to the Polish Commonwealth."[7]
