-=== Online Church Record Inventories and Finding Aids  ===
+===Finding Aids===
-Poland  finding aids have been created by a variety of state, church, society, and private organizations.  Their goal is to inform what records exist and the repositories that hold them. Each finding aid has a different focus--a particular religion or geographical area or archive or collection.  Be sure to search all that apply to your ancestors. Remember that churches often produced civil registration records. The church records might have been destroyed, but copies had been sent to the government and still exist. So we search for both church records  and civil registration records.

+===Records at the FamilySearch Library===
-The Family History Library has church records on microfilm from many parishes throughout Poland, some to 1875, some to the 1880s, and some as late as the 1960s. Look in the catalog under the name of the town where the parish was, not necessarily the town where your ancestor lived: POLAND, (COUNTY), (TOWN) - CHURCH RECORDS New records are continually added to the library’s collection from several sources. Do not give up if records are not available yet. Check the FamilySearch Catalog every two or three years for the records you need.

Do not give up if records are not available yet. Check the FamilySearch Catalog every two or three years for the records you need.
 ===Local Parishes===
 Most Catholic church records are still maintained by the parish, which will generally answer correspondence in Polish. You can write directly to the parish with a nonspecific address (Catholic parish, Town name with postal code, Poland), but using the specific parish address is better.  If the records you need have been moved to a diocese or state archive, your request may be forwarded to that archive.
 ====Parish Addresses====

Many Lutheran parishes that existed before the 1918/1945 boundary changes no longer exist. Some of their records are in the diocese archives, and some were sent to [https://www.archion.de/de/browse/#https://www.archion.de/de/browse/&path=3 Archion: Evangelical Central Archives in Berlin.]
 ====How to Write the Letter====
 Write your request in Polish whenever possible. Information about how to write to local parishes in Poland is given in [[Poland Letter Writing Guide|Poland Letter Writing Guide]].
