Podjass belonged to the civil office of Sullenschin too. The civil registers of Sullenschin are filmed by the Mormons (only 1874-1883). The other civil registers are in the State Archive of Danzig (if they are more than 100 years old). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lorene Seman" <lmseman@wisc.edu> To: <prussia-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2011 5:44 PM Subject: Re: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] Vital records in Prussia Catholic. I have found the records in the Churches there. However, I'm interested in the civil registrations because some of the church records contain very little information, such as no information about parents in the case of marriage. This information says they have been microfilmed by LDS but I cannot locate any information on LDS. Has anyone successfully accessed civil registration on LDS for Poland? Poland's excellent system of civil registration of vital records (birth, marriage and death records) is the best in Eastern Europe --- better than most U.S. States. In what became the Kingdom of Poland (/Królestwo Polskie/ = Congress Poland = "Russian Poland"), civil registration began in 1808, and most of the records survive to this day. These documents are extremely informative --- for example, a birth registration usually contains the names and ages of both parents, the date, time and place of birth, the father's occupation, and often both grandfathers' given names. These records are kept in many different branches of the Polish State Archives and Civil Records Offices across Poland. Many of those in the Archives have been microfilmed, and are thus available for viewing around the world. Vital records *less than 100 years old* are most often still in each town's town hall, and records *more than 100 years old* are at one of the Polish State Archives regional branches. Most existing records before 1880 have been microfilmed by the LDS.
