-Church archives collect records generated by the church, such as parish registers. Each diocese has its own policies regarding gathering records into the archive of the diocese. Generally, older records are found in the diocesan archives; more recent records are found at the local parish.
 Some Catholic dioceses have gathered older records into a diocesan archive. You can write to these archives and request brief searches of their records. See [[Poland Church Records]].
-Protestant church records can be difficult to locate in Poland. Many have been lost due to wars and boundary changes, especially so in former Pomerania regions. Many other records have been filmed and are listed in the FamilySearch Catalog. In a few cases, records still exist in the local church but have not been microfilmed (e.g. Lublin Lutheran). For a complete listing of Protestant Church archives and repositories, see references in [[Poland Church Directories]]. Some Lutheran records for former Prussian regions are held in [http://www.ezab.de/ Lutheran Church Archives] in Berlin. Protestants should not hesitate to look into Catholic records for their information. If no Lutheran or other Protestant church existed in a particular area, the residents would have been civilly obligated to register their births, marriages, and deaths at the nearest Catholic Church.
