Poland, Catholic Church Records
I first began my Poland, Catholic Church Records with purchased, not rented, microfilms. These sales were discontinued @ 2018 and were to be replaced by digitized records. Information on the microfilm is not inaccessible in digitized form.Additionally, there is no pattern or sequence to readable data in that, within the same film number, birth and marriage records may be available but not death records. Discovery of an ancestor's data does not always permit viewing of the original document which may have been incorrectly transcribed. Request personal permission be granted to view these same records online.

You may want to post in the group for Poland Research, where helpful members may be able to point you to alternate repositories for the records you need to continue your research.

Best of luck with your research.4 -
The answer is unacceptable because alternate records do not go back far enough. Films 2006734 and 996739 have the same data but the first has information going back to the 1700's while the latter begins only in the 1800's. The same is true for films 1900673 and 995406. Perhaps the closest Family Search Center can have special permission to view. Charging $8.50 for a film and then withdrawing it is unethical.

@Pam Coats It's hard to tell exactly what you are needing to view, but many of the films for this part of Poland are accessible at a FSC. In the collection containing 996739, births, marriages and deaths start in 1785.
"Discovery of an ancestor's data does not always permit viewing of the original document which may have been incorrectly transcribed. Request personal permission be granted to view these same records online."
If you have discovered early records in which you question the validity of what has been indexed, we can help you with that. However—when a contract denies public access to images, personal requests to view them cannot legally be granted.

Thank you for stopping by, @SerraNola. I was reluctant to tag you for help once again.
