Genealogy / Are Polish birth records available on the Internet? [56]
Very little info on Polish birth records is available online. I found my great-grandparents' villages through talking to living relatives and looking through documentation (naturalization, Ellis Island records, social security info in the U.S.)
From there, I had to do my genealogy work in person, going through the church records in my great-grandmother's Polish village to trace back my ancestors. When I asked the very kind priest if there was any other way to do the research besides looking through 200 year old records, he said no. They're not online or anything. Perhaps a bigger city is different, though I doubt it.
