Military records identify individuals who served in the military or who were eligible for service. Most young men were required to serve in or register for military service in Poland. Evidence that an ancestor actually served may be found in biographies or family, census, probate, civil registration, or church records. | Military records identify individuals who served in the military or who were eligible for service.

Military records can be of great genealogical value but are not generally practical for research. They are difficult to access, organized poorly, and not indexed. Other sources, such as church records and civil registration, are more accessible and contain much of the same information. | Military records can be of great genealogical value but are not generally practical for research.
