Schlesien Records

[HenryS]

Is there a source for records from Breslau, Schlesien, Prussia? I have several ancestors who came to America from there. I have recently discovered many who stayed.

I would try it here:

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&placeId=48410&query=%2Bplace%3A%22Germany%2C%20Preu%C3%9Fen%2C%20Schlesien%2C%20Breslau%22%20%2Bavailability%3AOnline

https://meta.genealogy.net/?lang=en
Fill in the place name: Breslau

https://www.ap.wroc.pl/de/breslau/uber-uns
Unfortunately the page seems to be available just in Polish and German, but there are records online available.

Just some examples where to start!

Henry,

I'm a new GGG member since August and just registered for the Forum, so am just seeing this.

Are you willing to hire a professional researcher?  I went to Breslau/Wrocław in October with a German friend and a Polish professional to look at German church books in the Polish State Archive there.  His name is Andrzej and he uses his late wife's email address from the looks of it:

<Alicja Solik-Gwiaździńska [e-mail]>

He speaks German well and is pretty good with English.  We were with him for four days, traveling to additional sites besides the former Breslau.  The charge was 100 Euro per day, plus an additional 100 Euro for gasoline for his car, as he drove us the entire time we were in Poland.  All of us were able to read the handwriting in the church books, but he also took photos of records found.  He is very professional and a good person!  You can say that I recommended him to you....
