Have you tried the free site I use for volunteer genealogy? It is maintained by the LDS church in America (better known as the Mormons) but is all inclusive regardless of faith.
Disclaimer: I am not a part of the LDS and/or Mormon church and do not agree with why they maintain this database and you may not either, but it cannot be argued they do great work in helping to connect people looking for ancestors via this site.
You can locate files and microfilm and get copies of old archives and church/parish registers thru them also; you just have to jump around their site and find what you need. You will pay for the copies you print or ask for. You may also be able to view what they have by going in person to a family history library in your country, wherever you may be.
It is free to use the site but you do pay for copies and for copied microfilms or rental of a reader to view the microfilm:

Try also swierczynska when looking for the Polish womens' names.
And try here, also (you must disable pop-up blocker to use it and be prepared---it pops up 14 total windows, some with further links). I have broadband, so it's no problem, but if you are on a dial -up internet service, this could take a lot of time :
