Civil registration records are kept at the local civil registration office (Urzd stanu Cywilnego) in each town or city. You must therefore determine the town where your ancestor lived before you can find the records. | Civil registration records are kept at the local civil registration office (Urzd stanu Cywilnego) in each town or city.

Your ancestor may have lived in a village that was part of the civil district of a nearby larger town. In large cities there may be many civil districts. You may need to use gazetteers and other geographic references to identify the place your ancestor lived and the civil registration office that served it (see the “[[Poland Gazetteers|Gazetteers]]” section in this outline). In addition to the town, you need to know at least an approximate year in which the birth, marriage, divorce, or death occurred. | Your ancestor may have lived in a village that was part of the civil district of a nearby larger town.
