A Translation Guide to 19th-Century Polish-Language Civil-Registration Documents

A Translation Guide to 19th-Century Polish-Language Civil-Registration Documents (including Birth, Marriage and Death Records) is a book written by genealogical researcher Judith R. Frazin as a tool to help researchers unlock the meaning of 19th-century Polish language civil records.

Many researchers use such tools, including this guide, to help decipher records found in genealogical resources, such as the LDS Church's Family History Library.

The Jewish Genealogical Society of Illinois, publisher of the book, released a third, revised edition in 2009.
