Finding Aid to Online Langfuhr Civil Records, 1911-1914
by Rodney Eisfelder

Scans of civil records from Langfuhr for the period 06-Jun-1911 to 31-Dec-1914 are now freely available online at both metryki.genbaza.pl (registration no longer required) and indeksy.net (new, registration not required). The start pages for the 30 Langfuhr (Wrzeszcz) civil volumes are genbaza and indeksy.

Among the marriage records in this collection, there are only two where the bride or groom's religion is stated to be Jewish, both in 1914: Jewish groom GOLDSCHMIDT and Catholic bride SCHULZ, divorced in Berlin in 1939 (vol. 28 no. 62: indeksy, genbaza); Evangelical groom SCHULZE and Jewish bride SCHAAL (vol. 28 no. 170: indeksy, genbaza). Clicking the links will take you to scans of the records.

Otherwise, this set of civil records from the Langfuhr Standesamt/Wrzeszcz USC has not been indexed (apart from handwritten partial indexes on volumes 11, 20, 21), but our Danzig Database, searchable via both the JewishGen Poland Database and Germany Database, includes Jewish birth records for this period (indexed from FHL copies of Gatermann microfilms). The information in the two sources might be different. If you find a record from this period in the Danzig Database and it mentions Langfuhr, note the registration number (number after "r") in the "Source" field, then look in the volume listed below that includes that number. The number is typically written at the top of each civil record.

Prior to 06-Jun-1911, the Danzig Standesamt was used for civil registrations, see our finding aid here.

Thanks very much to the GenBaza / GenPol team and the Archives in Gdańsk for making these scans freely available online.
