Jesteśmy z Krakowa? Jak to sprawdzić, czyli źródła do badań genealogicznych z zasobu Archiwum Narodowego w Krakowie

Abstract

The history of many families has a tradition of ties with Krakow, the effect of which is the search for documents that confirm this. A search can be made on the Internet in printed materials, e.g. address books, published in Krakow from 1905, containing alphabetical lists of residents, lists of property owners, representatives of particular professions, offices along with the names of officials. The censuses of the population of the city of Krakow from 1850-1921, preserved in the resources of the National Archives in Krakow, are made available on the Internet on the websiteukajwarchiwach.gov.pl. Gradually, more and more archives are presented there, among others civil status files. However, due to the limitations of the possibility of publishing data on the Internet by state archives, some archival materials invaluable for genealogists are still available only in archival reading rooms, e.g. applications for issuing identity cards or files of inheritance cases conducted by courts. An important source for researchers are school files collected by the Archive and documentation concerning the course of employment, for example, of railway workers, teachers, notaries, doctors and officials.
