Maurine-

In northeastern Poland at least, official records are in Polish until
about 1868. >from that date forward, they are in Russian. At some point,
they switch back to Polish. I'm not sure when, as they don't let you
browse those records.

Hope this helps!

My husband's father was born in Lutsk. At the time of his emigration,

was in Poland. By the time he applied for naturalization, Luts was a

Russia. I'm not sure if Lutsk is part of the Ukraine or Russia itself.

Would his birth records be in Polish or Russian?
