Archiwum Państwowe w Bydgoszczy

The Polish state archive for the Kuyavian-Pomeranian voivodeship, holding the civil registers of the former Prussian registry offices of the region, Szubin among them. IT ANSWERS LETTERS AND WILL SHARE SCANS: three e-mails in September 2026 were each answered within about eight days, in Polish, over the Director's signature with a named case officer. It points first at genealogiawarchiwach.pl for what is already digitised, and then supplied a 103-scan volume that is NOT on that portal, shared from its own OneDrive. TWO HOLDINGS FACTS IT STATED BY LETTER THAT NO ONLINE CATALOGUE SHOWS: the metrical books of the Jewish religious community of Szubin survive ONLY for 1820-1847; and the alphabetical death indexes (skorowidze zgonów) of USC Szubin Miasto survive ONLY for 1874-1878 and 1894-1924, with nothing between. An archivist there will also read a difficult line from a register on request and say plainly where the reading is uncertain.
