If searching for a Jewish ancestor, select the database [http://jri-poland.org/ "Jewish Records Indexing - Poland"] which is a good starting point. The database has approximately four million records and can be searched in several ways, such as entering a surname and a town name. Due to spelling errors, a "Sounds Like" search is usually more productive than an "is Exactly" search. The results are sorted by the location of the event and by the source of the data. "LDS" indicates that the records have been microfilmed and are available at the Family History Library. For these records, the database frequently contains the record number and film number, so the records can be found easily. "PSA" indicates that the records are available from a branch of the Polish State Archives. | If searching for a Jewish ancestor, select the database [http://jri-poland.org/ "Jewish Records Indexing - Poland"] which is a good starting point.

=== Records at the Family History Library === | |||
The Family History Library has microfilmed the civil registration records of many towns in the former Prussian areas of Poland. They are rarely available more recently than about 1890 because the microfilming of records less than 110 years old is restricted. The specific holdings of the Family History Library are listed in the FamilySearch Catalog. To find civil registration records in the Family History Library, search in the Place section under: | The Family History Library has microfilmed the civil registration records of many towns in the former Prussian areas of Poland.
