"Kraków genealogia dla głupich ludzi"???
(My best attempt at "Krakow Genealogy for dummies".)
I have tons of people to add there, both in listed and unlisted names, mostly organized on MyHeritage.
However I haven't figured HOW I should proceed about it. I entered both my parents' names in the proper field, but nothing happened. Does this system query them on Geni/MyH/other databases and do the rest? How do they get linked/matched?
What would be the cutting point?
My parents were born in Krakow, for sure, but I was born in Brazil.
My guess is that I should be OUT.
My whole point in genealogy was to connect "dismembered" relatives, to connect the numerous Lamensdorfs in the USA to their Krakow origin.
The research paid off last year, in 2014. I finally discovered that my second great-grandfather, his wife, a number of their children (though not all) with spouses and children, moved to the USA in 1880. Some of these couples had more children in America, grandchildren for sure, so these were not born in Krakow. This is why I wonder about the cutting point.
My great-grandfather was one who stayed in Krakow, and had enough descendants to build a relatively numerous family. AFAIK my parents were the last Lamensdorfs to leave Poland, in 1949.
So I wonder how I could help... properly!
There is a fast GEDCOM highway from Geni to MyHeritage. However the way back via SmartCopy resembles more a Tarzan swing in terms of moving people in the quantity I have. If Geni were able to merely SEARCH directly on MyH, and add one at a time, this would be much easier.
Are clear and complete instructions "for dummies" to the Krakow project available anywhere?
