finding post-1900 records in and around Szamotuly; Szamotuly town name
Hello,
My family lived in the Szamotuly area for quite some time. I've located births from 1890-1908, but I have been unable to find evidence of marriages or deaths for these people after this time period. Are these records too recent and not available? I've been searching "Records" and "Catalogue". Thanks.

Thank you. I did the search, but it appears that the records only go up to 1914 (the children wouldn't have been married by then). Do you know of any other sources?

You may check the Civil Records Office for more recent records (the last 100 years), but you may need to apply to Consulate if you live outside of Poland, pay extra, and validate the direct line to particular ancestors. Some marriages may be indexed for year 1915 -1920 in Geneteka.genealodzy.pl Just keep checking from time to time.
