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 [''Akta Wojskowe'']=== | |||
Research Use: Useful when there are gaps in church and other registers. Military records provide place of birth or origin, names of parents, and sometimes other family relationships are also given. The value of these records is severely limited, however, because they are not organized in a user friendly way. This problem can be overcome if indexes are available. | |||
Record Type: Military service records including muster rolls, conscription lists and draft registers. After the partitions, each area of Poland had its own distinctive system of keeping military records pertaining to the Austrian, Russian, or Prussian government. | |||
Time Period: about 1500 to present. | |||
Contents: Muster rolls: Name of soldier, date and place of birth, residence, rank, date and place of muster. Conscription list: Name of potential conscript, date, and place of birth, occupation and residence, sometimes names of next-of-kin and their residence. Draft lists: Name of draftee, his date and place of birth, occupation and residence. | |||
Location: State provincial archives, and the Main Archive of Ancient Documents [Archiwum Gówne Akt Dawnych] in Warsaw. | |||
Population Coverage: 25%. | |||
Reliability: Good.<ref name="profile">The Family History Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, “Family History Record Profile: Poland,” Word document, private files of the FamilySearch Content Strategy Team, 1987-1999.</ref> | |||
