[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Reading polish church records

[gpvjem]

Rachel:   
 In addition to the good information you already have, I have been told that Judith R. Frazin's "A Translation Guide to 19th Century Polish-Language Civil - Registration Documents (Birth, Marriage and Death Records)", is one of the best translation aids available.  ISBN 0-9613512-0-9

  Rachel,

  Good advice from Rose.  I also found the word list very helpful.  You can
  see some sample Polish records with translation on the SGGEE website,
  Translation Aids.
