Abstract

The article is devoted to the description of old Polish public registers, dated in 19 and 20 century, containing three types of documents, such as birth (baptismal) certificates, marriage certificates and death certificates. The Author gives short commentary on the tradition of forming these kinds of documents in Poland from XVI century, which leads to the conclusion that during the time of Russian Partition, from the year 1868 they started to be written in Russian Language. Examples of archive materials both in Polish and in Russian are enclosed and their unique construction, as well as main differences between them are paid attention to.
