About Polish Genealogical Society of Connecticut and the Northeast, Inc.
Rooted in New Britain, Connecticut, the Polish Genealogical Society of Connecticut and the Northeast, Inc. exists to preserve and celebrate Polish-American cultural heritage for future generations. The organization recognizes that Polish ancestors arrived in the Northeast in significant numbers during the late 19th century through World War II, establishing thriving communities in industrial cities like New Britain and Bridgeport, Connecticut, as well as in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. Many Polish families worked in mills and factories, while others pursued agricultural traditions in rural areas. Today, the society serves as a bridge connecting Polish-Americans to their ancestral past, uniting individuals who share a passion for discovering their family stories and honoring their heritage. With more than three decades of dedicated service, the organization has become a trusted community resource for those seeking to understand their origins and strengthen their connection to Polish culture. The society's commitment extends beyond genealogy to encompass the broader mission of documenting and preserving the historical narratives of Polish communities throughout the Northeast. By gathering family records, community histories, and cemetery inscriptions, the Polish Genealogical Society of Connecticut and the Northeast ensures that the experiences, struggles, and achievements of Polish immigrants are remembered and celebrated by their descendants and future generations alike.
