Finding my grandfather's birth certificate

Hi all

I am based in UK.

How can I get a copy of my grandfather's birth certificate in Poland?

Born 24/3/1914 in born in Zolkiewka, Poland, 23/3/1914.

Can it be done online?

The purpose is ultimately to seek Polish citizenship - I have seen some very expensive law firms offering to do this for me (€1000) but I wonder if there is a cheaper way?

Thanks loads

Dave

Genealogy / Is there a list of names of who was in Poland's Anders army? [34]

I am trying to find information on my late grandfather - Mojzesz (Morris) Glatman

He was a Polish soldier (private in the cavalry) and prisoner in Siberia in WWII.

At the formation of the Anders army, he was in a group of soldiers sent via Persia and then South Africa, to UK. He trained in the Dumfries area of Scotland.

Does anyone know where I might begin my research? What part of the Polish army was stationed in that part of Scotland? Ideally I am trying to recover any formal documents relating to his military service.

Thank you.

Dave
