Looking for best way to get documents or info. a Church contact that can communicate in English?
Also I see the church address is on Lewandowskiego? didnt notice this on our visit. Who and why named after a Lewandowski?
@mlewandowski Lewandowski is a popular surname - tens of thousands of users. The street must be named after a Lewandowski. You didn't say what years you're interested in or what religion your ancestors were. Generally speaking records that are over a hundred years old are kept in diocesan or state archives. Provided they survived all the wars etc Some results from szukajwarchiwach.pl szukajwarchiwach.pl/search?q=Znin XTYPEro%3Apra See if there are scans online. If not contact the branch of archives mentioned there. Try geneteka search engine - the thing is that not all records are indexed there
