[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Radom church document request

[Earl.Schultz]

There are probably 2 copies of the records and one is with the town.  It can
be more difficult getting the record from the town because of privacy laws
and, as you say, they certify their documents.  In Sierpc they were willing
to give us uncertified documents, i.e. they'd write the info down on a piece
of paper because you cannot use that as a legal document to steal someone's
identity.  In Rypin they would only give us the record #.  My church did not
retain any records more than a few years and I don't know if a copy went to
the church archives, I would think so.

I found out about the town records from the Jewish site
http://www.jewishgen.org/JRI-PL/ .  You can check there to see what records
are in the town offices.

Once they are 100 years old then you have to go to the archives.

Hello Earl,

seems there is some special regulation for Radom area. Any time when I asked
for e. g. a birth-record at states-archive in Radom I was advised to contact
the evang.-augsb. church.
Even SEZAM shows that the states-archive only keeps the "alegata".

Requiring documents from town office via polish embassy is really very
expensive !!! The reason for high costs is: documents are certified !
