Finding Historical Church Records[edit | edit source]
Roman Catholic Church[edit | edit source]
Not every town had a church so, villagers would travel to their nearest parish church for services. To find church records for your ancestor, you must find the name of the town and name of the parish church where your ancestor attended church. The name of the diocese, deanery can also be helpful. -The church diocese and deanery may not match the voivodeships or gubernia that you found for civil records.
