The instructions you gave to Carol seemed useful for my purposes as well. However, when I put in the surname I was interested in, and clicked on search, it just brought up the number of matching records, and when I clicked on them, it took me to another search page. How do I get to see details like names, dates, etc.?&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the numbers and they will take you to the results. If you see a small orange letter 'i' point your mouse on it to see additional. However, you must have in mind: many of the names in that database were transcribed from indexes. In such cases you will only see &amp;quot;skorowidz&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;dane z skorowidz&amp;quot;. When the names were taken from the records themselves, they may contain a bit more of info, such as names of both parents, or place of origin, etc).&lt;br /&gt;

I could not find this subject in AP Warszawa webpage (http://www.warszawa.ap.gov.pl/intro.html). What is the surname you are looking for? Are you aware of the Geneteka database? ZoSIA?&lt;br /&gt;
