This site is dedicated to the storage of civil and religious records pertaining to the history of the Podgorski (Podgurski, Podhorski, etc.) and related families. Contributions of high resolution digital images of original records are welcomed and may be sent to david@podgorski.com. Please include your authorization to post the images for public viewing. I will retain but not post any images that violate privacy laws.
Most of the records found on this web site come from microfilm originating at Polish and American national archives. The heraldic records presented are original digital images of registers maintained by the Russian State Archives in St. Petersburg.
Male Podgorski's should consider having their Y-DNA tested for at least 37 markers. DNA testing is a means to establish family groups. Although I am constantly reminded how common the Podgorski name is in Poland today, I am surprised by the fact that I have had only three 12 marker Y-DNA matches in the five years since I had my DNA tested.
Podgorski Family Surname ProjectAs time, technology and linguistic ability permits, I plan to publish trees for the Podgorski families with the most complete records.
