A Guide For Locating KAD Family Records

CREDITS


Alexander Sharon, editor JewishGen Family Finder, has provided us with extensive information to aid in our search for family records. This information includes data on the administration system under Polish rule from about 1918 to 1945; the archives for Kolomea/Kolomyja records, and a listing of towns, parishes, and shtetls that comprised the Kolomyja District while under Polish rule.

Finding Family Records From Galicia Kolomea Administrative District


The listing provided on our web page for Towns of Galicia Kolomea Administrative District identifies towns and shtetls which comprised the KAD while under Austrian rule. This listing defines the borders of our Kolomea Research Group. For locating records that listing may not be appropriate.

Mr. Sharon informs us that all vital records have been moved into centralized locations and filed according to the administrative divisions established while under Polish rule. The administrative divisions were: WOJEWODSTWO (PROVINCE); POWIATS (DISTRICTS); MIASTO (TOWNS); MIASTECZKO (SHTETLS) & PARISHES. A listing of divisions pertaining to Kolomyja is provided at the end of this topic. He reports that following WWII Poland and Ukraine agreed to move 19th century records or those more than 100 years old, to Warsaw to be stored in the old Archives known as AGAD. All vital records less than 100 years old would be stored in the Warsaw General Archives, known as USC Warszawa Srodmiescie. All other administrative records; such as, tax lists, school records, etc., would be stored in Ivano-Frankovsk State Archives. Ivano-Frankovsk is in the Ukraine. Kolomyja was in the Stanislawow Province. Stanislawow is now called Ivano-Frankovsk.
