| ==Finding Your Ancestors' Town in Poland==
| |
|
| |
| *Genealogical records are organized by geographical locality. Civil registration (government birth, marriage, and death records) and church records (christenings/baptisms, marriages, and burials) were kept at the '''local level.''' Duplicates were sometimes sent to higher jurisdictions such as a '''diocese or voivodeship (province).''' Efforts to collect, preserve, and publish records online are generally carried out at a diocese or voivodeship level, or by '''archive jurisdiction level.'''
| |
| *If you do not know your ancestors' town, follow the advice in the Wiki article [[Poland Locating Town of Origin|'''Poland Locating Town of Origin''']] to search a variety of records that might provide that information.
| |
|
| |
| <br>
| |
|
| |
| ==Town Details Needed for Finding Records:==
| |
| Once you know the town where your ancestors lived, there are some important details you need to find to get into the records. Your town may not have its own parish church because of its small size. So you need to find out the town name where the Catholic, Lutheran, Greek Catholic, or Jewish synagogue your ancestor attended would have been. Likewise, your town or village might have been too small to have its own civil registration office, so you need to find where people in that village would have registered their births, marriages, and deaths.<br>
| |
|
| |
| *Use [http://Kartenmeister.com '''Kartenmeister'''] to find the Polish and German province, county, Catholic parish, Lutheran parish, and Standesamt (civil registration office), if the town was in the area of Poland once controlled by Prussia.
| |
| *If the town was in the area of Poland once controlled by Russia or Austria, look it up in [http://www.wbc.poznan.pl/dlibra/docmetadata?id=12786&from=publication '''Skorowidz Gazetteer Online'''] to find the parishes of various religions. Here are the [[Media:1-Skorowidz Online-Instruction.pdf|'''instructions'''.]] Use the second option, "Viewing anywhere via the Digital Library of Wielkopolska".<br>
