 ===Protestant Archives===
-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]].<br>

+For earlier records, it is important to understand that in 1795, the old Kingdom of Poland was conquered and divided among Russia, Austria, and Prussia. Civil registration coverage varied for each part of Poland controlled by Russia, Prussia, or Austria. Because the time coverage, record content, and methods for accessing records are different for each part of the country three separate articles cover this topic.  Select the article for the region where your ancestors lived.
