I could try to ask if that's even possible without your presence because from what I've read a person asking for it must be a relative or have some legal interest in getting it. Also there is sth called stamp duty, which means there is a government payment for a copy of a birth certificate. The information is on the office page, but it doesn't have an english version (http://bip.lublin.eu/bip/um/index.php?t=200&id=50189).

Thank you very much for replying. I know that my request is difficult, but the truth being so far is difficult, it would help me very much to know if the birth certificate exists and if it is possible to have a copy and how to do it, if so, I could look for the form Go get the document or send someone, thank you very much ... I am really grateful for any information you can give me.

I'll try to get some info as soon as I get back from a holiday trip, and in the meantime you could try calling Polish Embassy in your country, maybe they'll be able to give you some information about what would be needed to get the document if it's here.

Hi Patricia,

Judging by the name, I guess the grandfather was of Jewish origin?

Many people who have Jewish ancestors come to Lublin to search for the family members traces. There is one cultural institution that is involved in the history of Lublin Jewish community - They have also an English version of the webpage: http://teatrnn.pl/en/

You can try writing them an email, I hope they could tell you more: teatrnn@tnn.lublin.pl

Or maybe try contacting Polish council in Venezuela? https://caracas.msz.gov.pl/es/strona_glowna

These are just ideas, hope some of them will work for you!
