| ===Prussian Poland Record Information===
| |
| Information recorded in Prussian civil registration records was quite standardized. German forms were used, which required specific details. After 1918, the records followed the Napoleonic records of Russian Poland.
| |
| ==== Prussian Birth Records (Geburten, akta urodzeń) ====
| |
|
| |
| Birth records '''usually''' give:
| |
| * the child’s name,
| |
| *sex,
| |
| *date and place of birth,
| |
| *and parents’ names.
| |
| They '''sometimes''' give:
| |
| *the age of the parents,
| |
| *occupation of the father, and
| |
| *marital status of mother.
| |
| Births were generally registered within a day of the child’s birth by the father, a neighbor of the family, or the midwife. Corrections to a birth record may have been added as a marginal note, sometimes years later.
