Book of Residents
Subject: RE: Visit to Polish State Archives, WarsawFrom: Fbussgang@aol.comDate: Sun, 17 Jul 2005 22:29:24 EDTX-Message-Number: 1In addition to being able to find online what vital (metrical) records exist for each town, E.L.A. (Ewidencje Ludnosci w Archiwaliach -- Evidences of Population in Archival Collections) is now online at the State Archives of Poland Web site [Just go to Google and type in 'State Archives of Poland"]. It is a database of all registers of population - books of residents, lists of Jews, lists of dentists and doctors, members of unions -- you name it. What is available for each town differs widely. The initial page is in English. Click on "database." Then use the pull-down and click on "Registers of population." Write in the town you wish to research and choose the archive you want from the pull-down list or choose all archives. The rest is in Polish and you will need a good Polish dictionary! Books of Residents are called "Ksiegi Ludnosci Stalej" or "Ksiegi Meldunkowe." If you click on the item, you get all the reference data - sygnatura (reference #), zespol (fond), years it covers, what archives houses the documents, etc. If you find something of interest, you can write the Polish State Archives (address is on Web site) and request someone to do the research. In 2004, it was 70 zl initial fee, 55 zl an hour.Fay BussgangLexington, MA
