Hello all, I am curious about what type of information is listed on death records. My ancestors died in Bialystok between 1918-1926. I am curious whether last know address or address of the death is listed. I would like to know the addresses where they lived. Where there registry records for places people lived in the last 19th century and early 20th century? How expensive are these records? Thanks in advance.

Vera, In addition to Debbie's enlightening comments I would suggest that you take a look at these links if you have not already done so. https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Poland https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Poland_Civil_Registration-_Vital_Records > death records. Kind regards, Bronwyn.

Since the death(s) occurred in less than 100 years ago, the records can be found in the local government agency. You need to know if it was in the city of Bialystok, county or province. They basically have the same name. Are you sure it was in the city of Bialystok where the death(s) occurred? It is true that sometimes death records do not have the parents' names, but in many cases they do. This is how I have been able to expand my research. Because of my 4th great grandmother's death record showing her brother as a witness, I was able to later locate her parents names because their names were mentioned in another brother's death record. The same brother was a witness for this other deceased brother. My third great grandmother's death record showed her mother as Maryanna, but it was wrong. Maryanna was her stepmother. Whoever gave the authorities the information may not have known her mother was Anna. When I found Anna's death record, that really stumped me. It was a while later before I was able to piece all of this together. It is worth it to obtain as many birth, marriage and death records on your ancestors as you possibly can. You never know which one will give you a clue. When my 3rd great grandfather remarried, I found his parents' names in that record. In that one I learned his father's brother was a witness, and it gave the village where he lived. This later helped me to link with another family, which moved to the States. Remember that you are a detective trying to solve a mystery. You need all the clues you can possibly find.
