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.

Genealogy / Help finding Lesser Poland village, Kasinka Mala, in Limanowa county / WÄ…growiec [4]

Hi, I'm trying to find my great-grandmother's village, Kasinka Mala, in the Lesser Poland province. My great-aunt said that the county name is Pow. (short for Powiat, I'm assuming?) Limanowa, which was on the address of letters going there in the early 1900's.

She said that Kasinka Mala had a twin village called Kasinka Wielga (I'm not sure how to spell it). Any idea where Kasinka Mala is or where I could go to find out?
