The name Glaser is prevalent in many Polish and Jewish towns. It appears to be related to the occupation of Glazier, working with glass or perhaps mirror making. This project attempts to collect Glaser family members who resided in the Wagrowiec area of Poland. Some were Jewish but many were not Jewish and the project does not concern itself with any distinctions.
