I don't know if the following will have catalogued the area you are looking for,but it is worth trying. Not an easy website to learn to navigate, I still get lost, but maybe someone else can explain. She lists what kinds of records are available for what years for specific towns and what archives the records are at. Site is owned by Jewish Genealogist so I don't know how complete the coverage is, but might answer some of your questions. http://www.rtrfoundation.org Also, I think it was Tina who also posted a link the other day (either here or on another list) that had a Polish site saying what kinds of records exist for various areas, maybe you can search the archives for that or she will post it again. I remember searching that site, it was pretty amazing. On 2/8/11, Vera Miller <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks, Tina and Debbie. > > > > I used the link and it will be very helpful.

Routes to Roots web site is owned by Miriam Weiner author of the book, _Jewish Roots in Poland: Pages From The Past and Archival Inventories_, an excellent book. Since it is geared towards Jewish records, it does not cover the archival holdings all over Poland. http://www.rtrfoundation.org/ Vera, the information you were seeking was available on Poland's civil archives' web site which is the link Tina gave you. Also, owning or borrowing a how-to book about Polish genealogical research offers an abundance of help and information. Two such books are Ceil Jensen's _Sto Lat_ and Jonathan Shea's _Going Home: A Guide to Polish American Family History Research_.
