Online Webinar – Lists of Parishioners and Confession Lists in Galicia

Join us on March 6th from 12-2pm EST for our next “Members Helping Members” webinar!

Our topic will be “Lists of Parishioners and Confession Lists in Galicia – a source for genealogy“.

Alan Jakman, a native of Poland, will be presenting information on the lists of parishioners (Latin: Libri status animarum) as a source for genealogical research.

In the former Galicia, these books have been preserved in many places. In many cases, when vital statistic registers are lost, this is the only source for genealogy.

These books often included information about the dates of births, weddings and deaths of parishioners, but also, for example, notes about changing religion or emigration to the United States. It can be said that parishioners’ lists are a “shortcut” in ancestral research.
