Genealogy / Information on how/where to search to find out my father's history [9]

Hi Antony.
For any exploration in Poland, you need to have information about the location where your ancestor was born. Later, you can look for a birth certificate by the registrar's office, or in the church. If you do not know the Polish language will be difficult to look for yourself. Can then use the help of a genealogical office.

Law / A parent born in Poland. Obtaining a Polish birth certificate? [38]

Hi
In Poland, until 1945, were written two books born - one was for the registrar's office, one for the church. Sometimes, when the book was destroyed registrar metric can be found in the church.

If you need a birth certificate for the purposes of administrative, judicial you should write a letter to the registrar's office. Sometimes the office does not find a metric, because the book was destroyed, but then remains to check whether the book is in the church.

You can use the brokering and authorize a person in Poland to obtain such a document. You must then send the original power of attorney and photocopy documents proving that you are a descendant of a person. It usually takes a little over a month, but it is simple. I would recommend my website genealogia polonica.
