[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Evangelical Records - Piotrkow Trybunalski(Petrikau Poland)

[Jerry Frank]

According to http://baza.archiwa.gov.pl/sezam/pradziad.eng.php

the Piotrkow Archives have Lutheran books from 1826 - 1930 but these are 
only the Alegata books.

Alegata:  "detailed record of the betrothal [rather] than the marriage 
record alone. In addition to the marriage registration, Alegata include at 
least the birth records for the bride and groom. Other documents relating 
to the bride and groom or their parents may also form part of the Alegata. 
When a birth record could not be produced by the bride or groom, a protocol 
(sworn statement from witnesses including details of the birth) was 
created."  (from a Jewish genealogical web page)

These apparently are the same as the marriage banns often included with the 
b/m/d civil registration books pre 1826 but apparently later kept in 
separate books.  This material would be very valuable for genealogical 
research but apparently is not considered for microfilming by the LDS - at 
least not yet.
