Let me share with you my thoughts after visit to Kielce State Archive. I did the research for a person looking for records from Chmielnik. Beside vital records I could research only notary records as all other kinds were detroyed during WW2. I mean school records, voters, tax payers etc. Probably not everyone knows that there is a very efficient way of searching notary records. I attach below a picture of 1920 with letter “N” from alphabetical index of parties that allows to find person we look for in a very short period of time. The picture is a picture of computer screen as the records were digitized.
