[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] St Petersburg Archives for births1904-05

[Jan Textor]

The Polish State Archives do have records from the Rozyszcze Lutheran
(Evangelic-Augsburgian) parish.   The good news is that they have complete
holdings of birth records for the period 1860-1939, but the bad news is that
they only have indexes of the birth records for the years 1860-1861 and
1900-1939.

You can search their data base of vital records and civil registers at this
