How do I find out what parish records LDS has filmed? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbie Greenlee" <daveg@airmail.net> To: <poland-roots@rootsweb.com> Cc: <lturban@verizon.net>; <kelsa@epix.net> Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2012 3:21 PM Subject: Re: [POLAND] Sur name Piwowarczyk Len, LDS has not filmed the church records for Skalnik so you will have to write to the parish, in Polish, and ask for a photocopy or digital image of Andrzej Piwowarczyk's baptismal record. You could also request a photocopy or digital image of his parents' marriage record or at the very least, a complete transcription of the records. You don't just want a certificate. Make sure to ask where the records are located if they are not at the parish. do not send money up front but do ask how you can make a donation. Address: Parafia Rzymskokatolicka w Skalniku p.w. Sw. Klemensa Papieza Skalnik 35 38-230 Nowy Zmigród Poland web site: http://www.parafiaskalnik.pl/ A good format to use for your letter and suggestions for the Polish phrases to use can be found here at "PolishRoots The Polish Genealogy Source": http://www.polishroots.org/Research/letters_polish/tabid/294/Default.aspx As for your grandmother, Wiktoria Meleski, I think the village is Torki. Request the same types of records as you did for Andrzej. address: Parafia rzymsko-katolicka Torki 24 37-732 Medyka Poland Debbie len urban wrote: > Recently, I have found that my paternal grandfather (Andrzej Piwowarczyk) > was born in Skalnik, Poland.

Jane, Click on Place Search here: https://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlc/ You don't need to use diacritical marks. Remember though, records will be in the parishes and not in the villages unless a village happens to also be the parish.
