I have a question maybe you can help me.&lt;br /&gt;
I went with the birth certificate paper to the poland embassy in chile, and they told me that they could not help giving me my grandfather's birth certificate (I need a copy delivered by them to present at the german embassy in chile)&lt;br /&gt;
My cousin who lives in Germany, went to the Polish Embassy there and told him that they could not help either, because he has more than 100 years of this role&lt;br /&gt;
I wrote to the address you gave me 3 times, and I have not been answered.&lt;br /&gt;
Do you have any idea how you could get this role to be delivered by the Polish government?&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you very much and I await your comments.&lt;br /&gt;
regards,&lt;br /&gt;
Paula&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I am sorry I am not familiar with citizenship issues. I would ask the german embassy in Chile if they accept a document issued by the national polish archives. If they accept, then you should write to Archiwum Panstwowe* and request a certified copy of that birth record. (*I do not rember if the record was found in AP Bydgoszcz or AP Torun or AP Inowroclaw).&lt;br /&gt;

Hola, Paula!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What year was he born? If it was more than 100 years ago, perhaps his birth record is available online in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.genealogiawarchiwach.pl&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.genealogiawarchiwach.pl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If it was less than 100 years ago, you would have to request it to USC (Civil Record Office) The email address is &lt;br /&gt;
	usc@um.torun.pl&lt;br /&gt;
