I recently found these two marriages indexed on the Geneteka website. I believe it says their sources are the Krosno parish records. But Google lists so many parishes for Krosno. Does anyone know to which parish I should write?

I wrote to one of the Krosno parishes many years ago. I think it was the one called Trójcy Świętej Fara. But I'm unsure if that's the right place to write for copies of these marriages.

These records are indexed on the basis of the parish documents stored in parish office of Krosno.
Geneteka says: Place of keeping the books: Parish Archives.
You should contact with the author of this index. His nickname is mmaziarski
I think the proper Archives are State Archives of Sanok. The books are probably not there, but they will know which church archives they are in.

Sanok State Archives:

Fax +48 13 463 19 99

Hi Starshadow,

When a town has more than one Catholic church the one which is titled “fara” is the official parish for the town. Trójcy Świętej is the “mother parish” of the town and the records you seek are to be found in its parish archives. Since the note on each indexed image states that the record is kept in the parish archive, that is the parish to which you should write. All the other parishes were founded long after the time frame of the records you want.

Wishing you success,

Dave

Thanks Marcel and Dave! I'll try all those options.
