[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Re House Numbers

[AlbertMuth at aol.com]

I too have seen this, albeit very, very rarely.  I will echo Bill  Fife's 
comment that by mentioning that if you trace the events in occurring in a  house, 
you can almost surely assume that it is a family member.
 
I have seen this a lot in Hungarian Catholic records of the 19th century,  
where the records are organized in columns (which never occurs in Lutheran  
records in Russian Poland, in my experience).  Russian Polish and Jewish  records 
use the same format as the Lutheran ones.
 
I suspect that the Catholic records of Austrian Poland (of which Galicia  
would have been a part) used house numbers, as do the German records Bill was  
referring to.

Hello          I have found various  documents
(birth, marriage and death records)for Poland that
gives the  house number. It'll say something such as
pod 5 for example. I guess it  depends on the locale
and the recorder.   Regards Robert  Norenberg
