Hello,

Does anyone on here know of any government department, registry, etc. of births and deaths that would indicate the burial sites of people in Poland?

A few of the "graves" websites are proving to be useless and short of searching every grave yard in certain areas of Poland, I wondered if such records can be found in the care of any one government department, other body...

Please let me know if you have any suggestions...

Thanks all...

i think you have a mountain to climb when searching for cemetery records.

1. the borders have moved over the years
2. some cemeteries were destroyed. during and after the last war.

Do u want Jewish, Catholic or other ?

it might help if u give us the name of the town/village where u hope to find something. then we might be able to tell u where the local cemetery is.

Hi Wroclaw, thanks for the quick reply. I know that this is post-war and that it is a Catholic man. I am trying to find out the location and should be able to get that info within a day or so...

Hello again,

I understand that it's a military cemetery just south of Warsaw and that this person passed away in 1991.

wait for someone else on the forum to give you a direct answer.
