In Polish archives, some German land records are available for use. These land records may include plat maps that show the layout of the land owned by different people. These land maps show the forest borders, which were very important to the people. Forest rights were strictly enforced and usually belonged to the local nobility. The names of the owners were shown on the plat maps. Sometimes numbers are shown which represent the property number. | In Polish archives, some German land records are available for use.
