Need a translation: Letter asking for genealogy information.

Edited by: Moderator Jul 14, 11, 00:42 #1

I am doing some ancestry research and I've been e-mailing/mailing the "archiwum"s in Poland. I figured it would be easier just to use a generic request and just fill in the names/birth dates etc. of the people and send that off. Might even be faster because then everybody can read it and they don't have to get somebody who speaks English. I would appreciate if somebody could translate this for me. Thanks!

Witam ( that much I know ;) ),

I am doing ancestry research and I need your help, since some of my ancestors were born in your city. I have listed the name(s) of the person(s) I am looking for below. Please let me know the correct address for this type of request if you are not keeping those records. Also, please let me know if there are any cost associated with my request, and how much it is, and how to pay it. I provided everything I know below. I am looking for birth certificates, marriage certificates, or anything else you might have. If available, you can send me any available documents to me by e-mail at XXXXX@xxx.com, or you can mail any documents through the mail to: XXXXXX I hope this information is sufficient. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you very much, USA

Maybe you can point out which word is "name" and which word is "person", and what the plural form would be. That way I can just change it myself when I have two people that I'm looking for. I have gotten a birth certificate via e-mail before. That's why I included it.

Thank you for your help!
