Need help in locating the birth record of Aleksander Galecki
I know my Great great grandfather Aleksander Galecki was born ~1874 in Poland. He came to the Brazil with his parents, arriving in 1880-1900. Aleksander parents are Franciszek Gałecki (born in ~1841) and Antonina Gałecka (Grodzinska) (born in 1840 - Ojszczywilk).
I need help in locating the birth records of Aleksander Galecki along with her parents and other ancestors, so I can do further research where the records are located.
Where do I start doing research?
Thank you.

I found a possible marriage index for his parents Franciszek and Antonina, but didn't have any luck finding Aleksander's birth.
Do you know where in Poland Aleksander may have been born?

I have no idea of the city where Aleksander was born. But I know that some children of Franciszek and Antonina were born in Stryków.
P.S .: I hadn't mentioned it before but Franciszek, Antonina and Aleksander died in Brazil.

Okay. Here are some possible siblings that came up in the index.
Do these look like a match to his siblings based on what you already know? It's interesting that he's not showing up here. Maybe there is a mistake in the indexing? You could try browsing through the images on Metryki: http://metryki.genealodzy.pl/metryki.php?op=kt&ar=3&zs=1682d&sy=1874&kt=1
If you see a scan called SkU, that's a handwritten index of the book for the year. If there isn't a SkU, you'll have to browse the records. They will probably be written in Russian for this time period (but could be in Polish as well). See the Reading Polish Birth Records and Reading Russian Birth Records guides to help you read these records: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Poland_%22How_to%22_Guides
I've also attached a screen shot below of what the surname looks like written in Russian. Hopefully this helps. If you are unable to find him, then you may need to do a bit more research in Brazil and see if you can find any other information about him (exact birth date and place etc.) Good luck!
