[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Wegrow, Poland Records

[Paul Rakow]

 Hello Sieg,

      In the AGAD archives in Warsaw there are 4 volumes of government
 records concerning the Wegrow Protestant parish - about 2000 pages
 altogether - but be warned, these are not birth, marriage and death
 records, they are usually more concerned with money and legal matters.
 Sometimes you will find church school records included, and often tax
 lists. The years covered are 1811 to 1880.

   If you want to take a look, there are low resolution scans on-line at

 http://www.agad.gov.pl/inwentarze/cww190x.xml

 The Wegrow parish records are sygn 1325, 1326, 1327 and 1328.

    I've taken a quick look - I found a tax list from 1838, listing
 the heads of the households, their village, occupation, family size,
 tax band. Look in the sygn 1326 volume, starting around p431.

    (link might be too long - put it all on one line if it breaks.


      There are also quite a few legal agreements signed by large
 numbers of parishoners. You might get lucky, and find an ancestor's
 signature, or his XXX mark.

     Most parishes are covered, so this isn't just for Wegrow people.

             Good luck,

               Paul Rakow
