This was a search in the PRADZIAD database for all record collections for
Biala. My search returned 12 record collections. From these search
results, I clicked on the hyperlink that says more for the rzymskokatolickie
urodzenia 1818, 1822-1874 record collection. This is for the Roman Catholic
parish records for birth information for the years 1818 and 1822-1874. They
also have the marriage and death information, as listed below.

Below the 12 record collection results is the information needed to order
copies.

Take a look around the website and try a few searchs in the database. I was
surprised with what I found, especially since for years, I've been told this
area's records were destroyed in WW2.

Good Luck!

Subject: Poznan Archive Records Request

Can you tell us the time period that was covered by the records that you
requested from the Poznan Archive; before and/or after civil registration?
Does the Poznan Archive hold both Roman Catholic & Lutheran parish records?

Maybe I should try this route for the records of the siblings of my
ancestor, Julia STEINKE, b/b April 1819 in Behle (Biala, PL); near
Schönlanke (Trzcianka, PL) in the vicinity of Schneidemühl (Pila, PL).

Does this sound like a reasonable (worthwhile) plan of action or does the
ca. 1819 time period disqualify my query since it predates civil
registration?

Thanks,
Bette
