PGST Announces Travel Notes

Travel Notes
by Stefan Nesterowicz
translated from
Notatki z Podrozy
Toledo, Ohio
1910

In 1909 Stefan Nesterowicz was sent as an agent by the weekly Ameryki-Echa (Echoes of America) to the South and Southwest of the United States to visit Polish settlements. His journey covered four states: Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. Mr. Nesterowicz published his writings as Notatki z Podrozy in the next year.

Nesterowicz's original Polish version and the English translation by Marion Moore Coleman (1969) have been out of print for many years.

The Board of Directors of the Polish Genealogical Society of Texas began the journey to bring this all-important work of Stefan Nesterowicz to the forefront of our society. After exploring several avenues with concerns of copyright, it was decided to turn to our PGST friend, Elizabeth McNeilly, linguist, for a new beginning with an original translation. Photographs included in the 1910 publication have been extracted, enhanced and included in this new book.
