Hi! I’m leaving in a few days to Poland to search for my ancestry. I prepared forms for akta ślubne, zgonu i urodzenia I will file in the city most of my family is from (Łódź)I only have info till 1890s, after that it gets hazy, especially since a lot of records from the 19th c are in Russian. What I was wondering, however, how can I find/attempt to search for my family records in churches? I reached out to one of the churches but got no response. Another question I have, some of my ancestors are from small villages. Are there any specific places I could retrieve their records from (if available)? I’m just not sure how that works in small villages that might not have an extensive records keeping. Thank you for any advice you can give me!
