Welcome to the Polish Genealogical Society of Texas. Our GOALS are to unite Polish researchers, share information, publish Texas research for previously undocumented and unexplored areas, educate others on Polish-Texan history, sponsor trips to Polish Settlements in Texas, sponsor workshops on historical and genealogical topics relevant to Poles in Texas. The society was organized in 1982 to promote genealogical research among individuals of Polish heritage.

Members meet several times yearly to share research information and to learn from guest speakers. Topics cover a wide range including sources, facts, preservation methods and other subjects. Visit our Membership page to find out more about joining our society. Be sure to check our Calendar for scheduled meetings and events.

Our periodical, Polish Footprints, is published three times yearly and contains many ideas related to Polish genealogical research with some articles on history, culture and traditions. An index of names mentioned in past issues of our periodicals can be searched on this web site.

A Surname Index is published and is included in the membership fee. This index is used to identify members, surnames being researched, similar ancestral lines, years of immigration, home villages and U.S. settlements. The entire surname index can be searched on-line.
