The Family History Library has microfilmed some of the parish registers of Stettin as well as many civil registration records. For time periods and parishes not listed on the Family History Library catalog, you may need to write to Poland for more information.

For help in writing a letter to Poland, please consult the Family History Library Publication Poland Letter Writing Guide.

Each parish in Stettin maintained its own church records and when writing for information from church records you have a greater chance of success if you know the specific parish your ancestor lived in. You must also know the religion of your ancestor and write to the appropriate church
