[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Fandry from Bialystok

[Gary Warner]

Astrid,

There are three places in Poland that have the word Bialystok in their 
name.   One is a large city in Podlaskie province, one is a small 
village called Konopki-Bialystok, also in Podlaskie province, and one is 
a small village in  Lubelskie province.   I am going to assume for the 
moment that you are talking about the large city.  There may also be 
records for the smaller villages, but your first look for records should 
probably be in the easiest place to find records.

According to the Pradziad database at the Polish archives, there are 
Lutheran birth records for Bialystok (the large city) from 1847 to 1872, 
and from 1875 to 1907.  There are also marriage records from 1841 to 
1890, and 1892 to 1907.  Death records exist from 1870 to 1907.  
According to that website, the records are kept at

*Archiwum Pan'stwowe w Bia?ymstoku

*Since an email address is noted in the above address, I would send an 
email, in English, and ask what they need from you to conduct a search 
of the records.   You should consider asking for a search of all of the 
years that they have  if they have the birth, marriage or death records 
for any Fandry, Fandrey or Fandrei family in whatever time frames you 
seek, or perhaps all of the time frames for which there are records.

Her father was Karl Fandry, her mother a born Radtke. As far as I know, my grandgrandfather was a tanner. They were members of the Evangelic Lutheran Church.
