I found the marriage record of the ancestors of mine that came over from Poland to settle in America on bindweed.man.poznan.pl/posen/search.php
It's really a fantastic site for searching for marriages in the Poznan area, mainly because it's the only site for searching for marriages in the Poznan area.
Anyway, I would like to obtain the original record as I hear there is a lot more information on it than there is on the Poznan project site. How do I go about this?
I know that I have to write the parish for them to get the record and to expect a response in Polish, but I have a few questions about this:
Do I write to them in English or Polish? I speak very little Polish and it would be rude to write in saying:
Dzień dobry,
Mówię po angielsku. Świadectwo ślubu - Daj mi to.
Daj mi więcej szczegółów.
Miłego dnia!
And I would like to include a donation, how would I go about that? Send in US dollars? Write a check?
