Looking for evangelisch records from former Galicia in Krakau archives
Hello,
The area I'm researching a few areas - (1) Hohenbach and neighboring towns in former Galicia, (2) just outside of Galicia border in Sielec Parish (just outside of Staszow) in Russian Poland (these two areas are very close to one another and families overlap). Looking for Evangelisch records.
I have used the Ortsfamiliebucher put together by Manfred Daum via connection through Galizien German Descendants and am working to see the source documents for my ancestors that were used to create these family books. I've found much in the Warsaw archives (AGAD) but for some of the year sequences I believe the records are located in Krakau archives. I'm wondering if someone might have idea how I can access these short of going to Poland. Would they be online? Is it a matter of writing letters and hiring a researcher? I just haven't been able to find the right course!
For the ones in Sielec Parish I've found records in the http://metryki.genbaza.pl for 1855-1913 records, but can't seem to find anything outside of that date range. There may not be any records still surviving, but if you have ideas for me I'd love to follow up!
Thanks for what advice you can offer!
Best regards,
Susanne

@Susanne Skabelund I wonder if posting this question in the Poland Genealogy Research group would be helpful. There are several links in that group that may prove helpful to you.
Good luck.
