Drodzy członkowie forum,

Nazywam się Hugh Whiting, jak można powiedzieć po mojej biednej polszczyźnie, używam internetowego programu do tłumaczenia i mieszkam w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Moje pytanie dotyczy badań archiwów w Polsce, w szczególności archiwów kieleckich i Centralnego Archiwum Akt Historycznych w Warszawie.

Odkryłem, że w tych dwóch archiwach znajdują się dokumenty związane z moimi szlachetnymi przodkami z okolic Wilkomierza, w szczególności akta majątkowe.

Moje pytanie brzmi: czy jest ktoś na forum, który może osobiście odwiedzić te archiwa, czy też zna jakichś badaczy (najlepiej mówiących po angielsku), którzy mogliby zajrzeć do tych konkretnych dokumentów w Kielcach i Warszawie?

Mogę podać szczegółowe informacje każdemu, kto może mi pomóc. Wiem, że same archiwa świadczą usługi badawcze, ale wolałbym skorzystać z pomocy zewnętrznego badacza, ponieważ wiem, że opłaty za archiwa mogą być bardzo drogie.

Dziękujemy wszystkim, którzy mogą pomóc.

Z poważaniem,

Hugh Whiting

Dear Forum members,

My name is Hugh Whiting, as you can tell by my poor Polish, I am using an online translation program and I live in the United States. My question is regarding research in archives in Poland in particular the Kielce archives and the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw.

I have dicovered that these two archives have some documents related to my noble ancestors from the Wilkomierz area in particular property records.

My question is, is there anyone on the forum that can visit these archives in person, or do they know any researchers (preferably who speak English) who could look into these particular documents in Kielce and Warsaw?

I can provide details to anyone who might be able to help me further. I know the archives themselves do research services, but I'd prefer to go through an outside researcher because I know archives fees can be very expensive.

Thanks to any who can be of assistance.

Sincerely,

Hugh Whiting

"Central Archives of Historical Record" = AGAD Archiwum Główne Akt Dawnych

"but I'd prefer to go through an outside researcher because I know archives fees can be very expensive."

Prices in polish archives (internal service, is, by state archives) are low, problem is AGAD does not make search as service
in AP w Kielcach costs of 60 minut work are 60 zł - i dont;t think you will find cheaper on "open market"

Wlodzimerz,

If I already know which documents I need can the AGAD make copies for me. The particular holding they have is according to this online description 4 pages. I have never ordered copies of documents from Polish archives (It seems you are familiar with it) Is it a fairly straighforward process??

Here's the actual reference to the holding at AGAD I'd like to have:

At only 4 pages I'd think this would hopefully not be an expensive request. The Kielce one is more involved but perhaps I should email the archive hopefully they can understand my bad Polish or English

It depends of form of payments that you can use (an commission in US), but you can pay in USD. Few 3 (?) pln for page. I think it will take ab. 2 weeks. My last order was in the January, but now it can take more than 2 weeks.

Could you tell us ab. the relation between Wiłkomierz and AP Kielce?

So the archives in Kielce has a large trove of documents related to the Klimotowicz family one of the noble families who lived in the village of Wigie in Wilkomierz.

My Dowiatt ancestors were also nobleman from Wigie in the same period of the 1700's and 1800's and likely had business with the Kilmontowicz family. It would be worthwhile I think, to see if my noble ancestors feature in the Klimontowicz papers.

It's quite an extensive group of documents.

Hugh

Wlodzimierz,

Dziekuje Bardzo
