The | The FamilySearch Library has several sources that contain previous research or can lead you to other people who are interested in sharing family information. These sources include: | ||
International Genealogical Index (IGI). The index has names and vital information for thousands of people (deceased) who lived in Poland. It lists birth, christening, or marriage dates as well as Latter-day Saint temple ordinance information. The index for Poland has names extracted from parish registers by volunteers (mostly from places formerly under Germany) and names submitted by other researchers. | International Genealogical Index (IGI).

The | The FamilySearch Library has only a limited number of published Polish family histories and newsletters. Copies are listed in the surname section of the catalog, but not every name found in a family history will be listed. Only the major surnames discussed in the family history are included in the catalog. | ||
Unpublished family histories, usually of Polish nobility and their descendants, are sometimes in the possession of private individuals in Poland. These individuals may have collected a variety of unpublished records pertaining to their own families. | Unpublished family histories, usually of Polish nobility and their descendants, are sometimes in the possession of private individuals in Poland.
