confusion on archives in Poland

I wanted to write to the archives in Poland for more info on my great grandfather.
but, of course, I seen that Krakow has archives and so does Witkowice. I was told
Witkowice was the archives I was to write to, for records for Osiek Near Oswiecim.

Anyone know which one would have these records, or could find a site online that
states they hold these records ?

I would suggest to write to where you were told to write to (Witkowice). The archive people from Krakow may be overwhelmed with other requests so there's a chance you get the answer faster then :). But I've never requested such records so don't treat my answer final.

I sent a letter to the archives in Warsaw and Krakow. My father (very old) cannot remember if my mother is born in Warsaw or Krakow. Do you think they will reply?

I had recieved a reply , BUT NOT WHAT i WANTED TO HEAR. they said that the records
for that area I was looking at (nowogrod ) K Lomza was not available. so my searches
stopped for a while. I decided to go to the other archives. I think I have it correct, but
also wanted to verify.

Mysister, daughter and I went to Poland this past spring. Prior to that we wrote to the Archives in Warsaw and the Archdiocesan archives in Poznan, home of our ancestors. Poznan took ages to reply and told us they were closed for renovation, so we will try again. ( They have a great web-site.) We received no answer from Warsaw, but visited them while there. They are just an office and had no ability to do any searching. They directed us to the Latter Day Saints office in Warsaw.and suggested we try Poznan again when they are up and running. The LDS office was most helpful. If you have one locally, I would suggest you try them, if you havent already done that.. I also suggest you try to find a website for the archdiocese nearest your town.

Well, I have an abundance of things I want to get, mainly before 1808.
I have records for 1808 and up, alot in russian.. btw, anyone who knows russian
I need you lol

anyway, wanted to try and get some nobility records, to which this stuff was
more then likely lost.

or if it exist, then, probably would have to go thru alot of records to find the names.
well cant say that really, because maybe they do have a way of getting it without
all the searching. P
