In Poland, records created by the local government less than 100 years ago—including birth, death, and marriage records—are kept in local offices. These records are not available to the public. For more information about these offices (which are comparable to county courthouses and town halls in the U.S.) and their records, see [[Poland Civil Registration|Poland Vital Records]]. | In Poland, records created by the local government less than 100 years ago—including birth, death, and marriage records—are kept in local offices.
