Post subject: Austrian Citizen Proof from Galician Heimatschein/Heimatroll
Hello everyone,
I am currently researching ancestors from the Podkarpackie region, specifically in Nowy Dzikowiec (1889) and Majdan Królewski (1890)—both formerly within the Kolbuszowa district of Austrian Galicia.
I am looking for Heimatrecht documentation (such as a Heimatschein or Heimatrolle extract) to establish Austrian citizenship for an ancestral claim. I am working with a lawyer in Vienna and need to verify a civil/state connection that goes beyond standard parish baptismal records.
Does anyone have experience locating Księgi ludności (Resident Registers) or Księgi swojskości (Home Rolls) for these specific villages from this era? I am trying to determine which state archives currently hold these civil volumes or if they have been digitized recently.
Thank you for your time and for all the work you do to preserve this history!
