Ok.

Do you know if there is a roman-catholic church in Kowienśka Suwalki still exist ? Maybe I can write to them and ask?

Is it sorted by date?
Do I look for the surname on the side of the pages?

"Where can I get that?"
"Would this info be enough for a birth certificate?"

It depends on birth date. What is source of these informations (date, place)?

The birth date is 29/6 1859

The source of this information is a church in Finland that I wrote to, they found the information in a parish ...

Hello! I would like to obtain a birth certificate from Poland for my great great grandfather. Where can I get that?

I know his name, birth date, province and governate (suwałki kowieńska) ,and religion roman-catholic. Would this info be enough for a birth certificate?

Do Przemka.
Przemku, wszystko jest ważne i potrzebne. Każdy z nas ma swoje "mile i te pierwsze i kolejne". Do niektórych trzeba wracać lub pokonywać je wiele razy.
