Tennille, I know there are Polish language translation aids on the internet (NOT computer generated ones) so there are probably ones for German as well. Search for German genealogy web sites looking for phrases used to request records. Always ask for photocopies of digital images of the original record. You don't want someone else transcribing a record for you.
