Can anyone tell me where to find burial lists online for Polish cemeteries? I haven't had any luck finding birth, marriage or death certificates so I thought about trying to put our family tree together using burial records. The only problem is that I can't seem to find any. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,

Tim.

if there are any lists they may be spread about. meaning as the borders have moved u could find things listed under Prussia, Russia etc.

Jewish records are less difficult to find. some cemeteries will have been cleared away. the more famous cemeteries will have lists somewhere.

u might find info in a city archive.

What city/area are u interested in ?

You can not find much online, the Polish government does allow any records that are 100 years or less to be online (privacy issues), I have tried to find my family tree records, one needs patience and a lot of hunting around different websites. I have found some relatives on this cemetery website:http://www.nekrologi-baza.pl/nazw/indexnazw.htm ( city of Warsaw),but you really need to go to the State Archives of the city in Poland and pay up so they can look for you, some charge as much as a fee of $200 to $400 for 1 hr + expenses.
Good luck in your search.

I want to start in Lodz city but then maybe also Belchatow for another part of the family. I found 1 website for the communal cemeteries in Lodz but they don't have any of the names I am looking for.

I'd suggest church death records, if possible. If you know the area your family were/are from, try writing to the diocese office to see if they have any records.

Sometimes I have found death records but no graves (a few decades of Polish winters can wipe out a grave marking) or the graves/cemeteries are no more.
