Notes from Our Jewish Roots : the Second National Conference on Jewish Genealogy 7 -9 March, Melbourne
Unearthing the Polish Past by Necessity: The Historical Journey to a Polish Passport by Krystyna Duszniak
Notes by Anne Burrows
Krystyna’s talk focused on obtaining polish passports (and thus EU) – by proving citizenship of Poland of the applicants (or their parents/grandparents).
One difficulty with proving Polish citizenship is that many holocaust survivors did not immigrate to Australia in possession of their birth certificate. They therefore may hold Polish citizenship, or have children or grandchildren eligible but need to be able to prove it to obtain a passport.
Polish records are localized and birth, death and marriage records are kept in the different administrative area offices. If the territory has changed you may need to contact the country the territory is currently residing in.
Records in Polish Archives:
-Birth certificates over 100 years are given to the Archives and available for public viewing.
-Books of residence – lists the occupants of every house in town. Other information can include the date and place of births, parent’s names and notes about moves. These books are organized by house number, so you will need to know the address before consulting them.
Krystina runs a consultancy specializing in Polish genealogy and Holocaust research http://www.losthistories.com
JRI – Jewish Records Indexing Poland http://www.jewishgen.org/jri-pl/

Searching Tips:
- If using the Town to narrow down your search, you will need to use the current name of the town (not the historical names). To establish name changes consult the book Where Once We Walked: a guide to the Jewish communities destroyed in the Holocaust / by Gary Mokotoff and Sallyann Amdur Sack with Alexander Sharon
- The JRI can also be searched on Ancestry Library Edition website, but search capabilities do differ. The JRI allows you to limit your result much more. If you are unable to find an entry on Ancestry, try conducting a search on the original website. |
