We are pleased to announce that in issue no 2(22)/2022 "CzasyPisma", semi-annual IPN Katowice, another article by a member of our association appeared: Peter Wiescholk “„I was just following orders...". This is the last text in the series Upper Silesians during World War II. Only victims?”.

Congratulations and we encourage you to read.

Dear Genealogists,

We have started a new project of digitizing documents from the resources of the State Archives in Katowice. On our websiteSkorowidze do akt USC | Silius Radicum we will post scans of archival units containing indexes to the files of registry offices from the areas of historical Upper Silesia. We start with the resources of the headquarters (49 offices at the moment in the plan), which have not yet been published anywhere. We will not post indexes on our website, which are already published on the website www.szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl. For now, you will find two registry offices, but very large – Registry Office in Bytom (StA Beuthen) and Registrar's Office in Bytom Łagiewniki (StA Lagiewnik/Hohenlinde). Let's keep our fingers crossed for Zbigniew Swoboda, who reliably is our digitization leader. Scans are made with our new Viisan S21 scanner.

Using the online indexes allows you to order a scan of any act by e-mail at the State Archives! Enjoy!

We would like to thank the members of our association and their families for coming and participating in celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Upper Silesian Genealogical Society “Silesian Roots”. We invite you to a photo report from this event, and to meet again after the holidays.

Thanks to the courtesy of the Society of Lovers of the Tarnowskie Góry Land, we publish on our website in the Record Books/ASC tab of the Roman Catholic parish in Stare Tarnowice – a register of communicants (Communicantes Regester) from the years 1806, 1812, 1815, 1822, 1823, 1829 i 1830 for this parish.

Thank you very much for sharing this source
