That the LDS records end in 1844 is NO indication of anything, I'm afraid. LDS did manage to microfilm some Polish records but it is a very small portion of what's available. And, for decades now, there is no LDS microfilming going on in Poland whatsoever. And, most likely, the situation will not improve, with the Catholic Church being extremely opposed to the Mormon's practice of re-christening the dead into their faith. Most books are still in the parishes. Only writing directly to the church can definitely answer that question. ella -----Original Message----- From: polandbordersurnames-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:polandbordersurnames-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Tina Ellis Sent: Friday, January 22, 2010 9:26 PM To: polandbordersurnames@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PBS] Stojewa The church in Mszana Dolna was established in 1345. Whether the records withstood the ravages of WW II is another story. http://parafie.genealodzy.pl/index.php?op=pr&pid=5298 Indecations are that it did not. I base that on when the LDS record filming ended ... 1844. Records are sent to the archive 100 years after they are issued. This mean the records from 1825 through 1844 made it to the State archives. In 1945, that area was probably fully engulfed in the war. You can try to write the church to see what they may still have in the way of record books.
