Whose archive this ground was

Record regions mapped in Ukraine — which empire held the ground, and therefore which archive holds its paper.

The archives

  • Archiwum Główne Akt Dawnych (AGAD) catalogue Warsaw, Poland

    Warsaw's archive of the old Republic — the metrical books of the Polish partitions, including eastern Galician parishes now in Ukraine. Catalogued here; the scans are published through Szukaj w Archiwach.

  • GenTeam.at Vienna, Austria

    Volunteer indexes to the Habsburg lands — Vienna's parish registers, Jewish records, school and guild lists. Free with an account, and it reaches ground the church portals do not.

  • Hungaricana free Budapest, Hungary

    The Hungarian cultural heritage portal — maps, censuses, urbaria and archival finding aids for the whole Kingdom of Hungary, not today's borders.

  • Magyar Nemzeti Levéltár (Hungarian National Archives) catalogue Budapest, Hungary

    The archives of the Kingdom of Hungary, which until 1920 meant Slovakia, Transylvania, the Banat and Croatia as well. Civil registration duplicates from 1895 are here even where the ground is now in another country.

  • Szukaj w Archiwach free Warsaw, Poland

    The Polish state archives' scans, free and without an account. Covers ground now in Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania as well as Poland.
