Protestant church records can be difficult to locate in Poland. Many have been lost due to wars and boundary changes, especially so in former Pomerania regions. Many other records have been filmed and are listed in the FamilySearch Catalog. In a few cases, records still exist in the local church but have not been microfilmed (e.g. Lublin Lutheran). For a complete listing of Protestant Church archives and repositories, see references in [[Poland Church Directories]]. | |||

Some Lutheran records for former Prussian regions are held in [http://www.ezab.de/ Lutheran Church Archives] in Berlin. For Protestants ancestors, look into Catholic records for their information. If no Lutheran or other Protestant church existed in a particular area, the residents would have been civilly obligated to register their births, marriages, and deaths at the nearest Catholic Church. | |||
