Genealogy / Rzeszow birth, death records available or destroyed in war? [5]

Thank you so much for your help. Sadly, I don't speak Polish, but I have a friend who does. So, the document states that the vital records (birth, marriage, death records) for Pobitno still exist from 1890-1942? Does the document state where the records are kept? Are they in the Rzeszow town archive? What is the address for the town archive? Thanks again for any help that you can provide for me :)

Genealogy / Rzeszow birth, death records available or destroyed in war? [5]

Hi, my great-grandfather came from Pobitno, which is now part of Rzeszow. Does anyone know if old birth and death records for Rzeszow or Pobitno still exist or if they were destroyed in the war? If they still exist, is there a main church amongst the numerous churches in Rzeszow where the information would be stored?

Genealogy / Question on Rzeszow, locating Pobitna (suburb?) and Mikula ancestors [6]

Thanks for the information - I'm planning to visit Pobitno in a couple weeks, and this helps me a lot. I'm going to try to get this information translated before I leave.

Do you know where I could go to find information on my family who lived in Pobitno for the past 300 years? I'd like to find out their names and birth/death dates. Would there be a place in Rzeszow that would have that information? Perhaps the church in Pobitno?

Genealogy / Question on Rzeszow, locating Pobitna (suburb?) and Mikula ancestors [6]

Thanks so much. The only bummer is that I unfortunately don't know Polish. I'll have to dig around and get a translation. Thanks for the help :)

Genealogy / Question on Rzeszow, locating Pobitna (suburb?) and Mikula ancestors [6]

Hi, I'm working on tracking down my Polish ancestors, and I have a Rzeszow question for anyone who can help me.

My great-grandfather, Albert Mikula, and his brother came over from Poland around 1905 and settled in Wisconsin. My great-aunt, who knows a lot of the family history, said that he was born in Pobitna. She said that it was a small village that was absorbed into Rzeszow over time as the city grew (perhaps in the early 1900's?). Does anyone know what section of Rzeszow city this is? I've had no luck when doing searches online.

Also, I have the names of Albert's parents, so I'm hopeful that when I go to Poland in a couple weeks, I can research farther back. The Mikula's lived in Pobitna and owned land there for over 300 years. Where would I go to do further geneology research? Would I check a church in Rzeszow (if it wasn't destroyed in the war?) or is there a better place to check, such as a website?

Thanks for any help you can provide!
