Re: Polish Records

Before researching in Poland, you need to know which town/ parish they are from.
Our best leads came from our man's Polish Army record, which gave that information and it was great to get a photograph there too.
The record also told us that he had a brother, Jan, who had also come to UK with the Polish Army and we were able, in time, to write to Jan's son and visit him in Yorkshire.

A death certificate, which we had previously hoped would tell us where our man came from, only said Poland... so no lead there.

Has the daughter done anything yet about getting the marriage cert?

Presumably he got nowhere with all the suggestions previously posted.

I have no personal knowledge or experience of it, but just Googling the name:

https://genealogiapolonica.com/about-us/

The cost depends on how much work they have to do - could turn out to be expensive:

They have a Facebook page - not that that proves anything.

Can't see any reviews except on their own site, unfortunately.


An agency called https://www.polishdocuments.com/ receives a good review on link below:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Genealogy/comments/ogg11n/genealogia_polonica/

That seems to be a USA/Polish company but might be worth contacting.

Hi, I have found this site,
Radoslaw GENEALOGIA POLONICA
with regard to searching for a polish family.

However before I go any further with this site, does anyone know of it and if it is legit, or have any dealings with it, or can offer any advice before I send them any more information.

I understand they charge for their services, and that is fine.

I'm just being extra careful.
